 | | The story of Ahaziah/Jehoahaz of Judah (2 Kings 8:24b-29 and 9:27-29) When Jehoram (king of Judah) dies, his son, named as Ahaziah in Kings and as Jehoahaz in Chronicles (both names are equivalent, they are the same theophory as suffix and prefix respectively), rules over Judah in his place. |
 | | Consequently many kings from the region surrounding Israel and Judah would take throne names that were theophory in Hadad (or Ba'al), which has can lead to much confusion in the text, and some difficulty in identifying which people are the same individuals and which are different: |
 | | It was common to drop the theophory in ordinary day to day life, so that, for example, Daniel becomes simply Dan. |
