 King Ahaziah of Judah - Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The son of a brutal couple, King Jehoram and Queen Athaliah, and grandson of Israel's idol-addicted King Ahab, Ahaziah followed the evil path of his forbears during his one year as Judah's king.
Ahaziah was the nephew, through his mother, of Israel's evil King Jehoram (brother-in-law of the other King Jehoram, Ahaziah's father), and the two became close confidants.
However, Ahaziah's baby son Joash was rescued by Ahaziah's sister Jehosheba, and later Athaliah's crime was capitally punished, and Joash made king.

 How Old Was Ahaziah?
The King James translation of 2Chronicles 22:2 with Ahaziah being 42 years old is the correct translation of every extant Hebrew manuscript of 2Chronicles.
Ahaziah is the king of Judah, but his mother is Athaliah the daughter of Omri the king of Israel.
For instance, he could be 22 biologically (fitting with the age of his father) and could also have assumed the age of his uncle Ahaziah (who had been king of Israel) in an attempt to bring the two kingdoms together.

 When did Ahaziah begin his reign?
Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem.
If Ahaziah was 42 at the time of his father's death, he would have been two years older than his father -- an impossibility.
This is further supported in that some Septuagint translations of the Hebrew Bible, the Arabaic manuscript, and the Syriac manuscript have twenty-two in II Chronicles 22:2 instead of forty-two as found in the Massoretic family of manuscripts.

 [No title]
The brief and inglorious reign of Ahaziah, the son and successor of Ahab, is said to have begun in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, and to have lasted two years (1 Kings 22:51).
Ahaziah had appealed to the "fly-god" of Ekron, and he would experience, and all Israel would learn, the vanity and folly of such trust.
The rule of Ahaziah had closed with the judgment of the LORD pronounced through Elijah, and another reign not less wicked - that of Joram* - had begun when the summons to glory came to the prophet of fire.

 Time to Repent
Ahaziah would not consult the true and living God, the infinite, eternal, unchanging God--the God of the covenant, the God of mercy and the God of grace, the God who created the heavens and the earth, and the God who alone is able to redeem us from our sins.
Ahaziah had not sought the Lord, but the Lord had responded to his trouble and sent his prophet to Ahaziah.
Ahaziah had declared war against the God of Israel, who is really the God of the whole world--the infinite, eternal, unchanging God.

 Daily Bible Study - Ahaziah
Ahaziah, king of Israel, was the son and royal successor of King Ahab.
Ahaziah was very much the child of his parents, having inherited his father's corruption and the religious paganism of his mother, the infamous Jezebel (see The Fall of Ahab and Jezebel).
Note how "Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel" clearly distinguishes between the two independent kingdoms of Israel and Judah (see When Israel Became "Israel" and "Judah", Kings of Israel and Judah and Israelite Dynasties).

 TURKEL
Furthermore, as Turkel noted, Ahaziah of Judah was the grandson of Jezebel, and as such, he was a descendant of Ahab and would have been considered part of the house of Ahab.
Why Ahaziah was called a "son-in-law to the house of Ahab" is something that only the writer would probably know, because Ahaziah's father Jehoram of Judah was actually the son-in-law of Ahab; Ahaziah was actually a grandson of the house of Ahab, because his mother (Athaliah) was Ahab's daughter.
Ahaziah was a grandson of Ahab, and so, unless Jehoram of Judah had had other wives besides Athaliah (Ahab's daughter), Ahaziah's brothers would have been Ahab's "kinsmen" too, and so would their sons.

 Volume VI Chap 16   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
THE brief reign of Ahaziah, or Jehoahaz (2 Chronicles 21:17) - for the names are precisely the same, the two words of which they are compounded being only reversed*) - may be regarded as marking the crisis in the history alike of the northern and the southern kingdom.
It was to Jezreel that Ahaziah went to see his uncle, and during this fatal visit the "destruction" overtook him, which, as the writer of the Book of Chronicles notes, "was of God." It came together with that of Joram and the whole house of Ahab.
With the short cry, "Deceit, Ahaziah!" Joram turned his horses' heads to flee into Jezreel, when Jehu, drawing his bow, sent the arrow with such strength between the shoulders of Joram that it passed out at his heart, and the king fell dead in his chariot.
