And in the fifth year of Jehoram the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat was king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, reigned.
He was a son of thirty-five years when he began to reign. And he reigned twentyfive years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
And he died, according to the Word of Jehovah that Elijah spoke. And Jehoram reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, for he had no son.
But Jehosheba the daughter of King Jehoram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the sons of the king’s sons who were caused to die, him and his nurse, in the bedroom. And they hid him from the face of Athaliah, and he had not died.
And those living in Jerusalem made his youngest son Ahaziah king in his place (for all the first ones had been slain by the troop that came in with the Arabians to the battle) and Ahaziah the son of Jehoram the king of Judah reigned.
