 King Ahaziah of Judah - Biography
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.

Ahaziah also left the field of conflict in Gilead, and, after a visit to Jerusalem, came to Jezreel for a conference with Joram.
Ahaziah fled by way of the "house of the garden." He was overtaken by Jehu's soldiers and wounded in his chariot; but the stroke was not immediately fatal.
The anarchy which followed the death of Ahaziah greatly weakened the monarchy of Judah; but it was a necessary step in the purgation of the kingdom from the taint of Baal-worship.

The reign of Jehu's predecessor, Jehoram, was marked by the Battle of Ramoth-Gilead against the army of the Arameans, where Jehoram was wounded and afterwards returned to Jezreel to recover, and where Ahaziah, the king of Judah and his nephew, had also gone to attend on Jehoram (2 Kings 8:28f).
The author of Kings describes, while the commanders of the army were assembled away from the eyes of the king, that the prophet Elisha visited this meeting, where he led Jehu away from his peers and anointed him king in an inner chamber, then immediately departed (2 Kings 9:5,6).
The king of Judah, when trying to escape, was fatally wounded by one of Jehu's soldiers at Beth-gan.

Ahaziah of Judah (אחזיהו המלך) was king of Judah, and the son of Jehoram and Athaliah, the daughter of king Ahab of Israel.
Jehoram was wounded in the battle, and when Ahaziah went to visit his uncle at Jezreel, he was caught up in the revolt of Jehu; Ahaziah fled for his life, but was wounded at the pass of Gur, and had strength only to reach Megiddo, where he died (2 Kings 9:22-28).
The author of the inscription on the Tel Dan Stele (found in 1993 and 1994 during archeological excavations of the site of Laish) claimed to have slain both Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, and Jehoram; the most likely author of this monument is Hazael of the Arameans.

 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.

 Jehu kills Joram, Ahaziah and Jezebel

Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, had contaminated the royal family of David with Ahab's lineage and idolatrous influence, and Jehu was being used to destroy it in Judah as well as in Israel.
But Jehu did not fall for it, and Jeremiah and Ezekiel prophesied that Israel and Judah's future enemies would not fall for such conduct either (Jeremiah 4:30; Ezekiel 23:40), though in the latter case the enemies do go ahead and have improper relations with them, taking advantage of their willingness (verse 44).

 Printable version - How Old Were Ahaziah and Jehoiachin When They Began Their Respective Reigns?
Obviously, Ahaziah could not have been 42 at the time of his father’s death at age 40, since that would make the son (Ahaziah) two years older than his father (Jehoram).
Thus, the correct reading of Ahaziah’s age is “twenty-two,” not “forty-two.” There also is little doubt that Jehoiachin began his reign at eighteen, not eight years of age.
In the case of Ahaziah, a copyist simply wrote twenty instead of forty, and in Jehoiachin’s situation (2 Chronicles 36:9), the scribe just omitted a ten, which made Jehoiachin eight instead of eighteen.

Jehoram of Judah synchronizes with Jehoram of Israel - 2 Kings 1:17; "And Jehoram (of Israel) began to reign in his (father's) stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah:" Jehoram of Israel reigned twelve years.
At this point the chronology is traced through Jehoram of Israel to Ahaziah of Judah and back through Jehoram of Judah (who in the reign of Jehoshaphat, served as both representative and coruler with his father), to establish the period of Jehoram's representation of Jehoshaphat, and also the period of his coregency with Jehoshaphat.
Since Ahaziah of Judah became king in the twelfth year of Jehoram of Israel (2 Kings 8:25) this reference must be to Ahaziah's first regnal year.
