He is also called Jehoahaz (2 Chronicles 21:17; 25:23). He took the throne at the age of 42 in the years of the House of Ahab, but he was biologically 22 years old (2 Chronicles 22:2). Most scholars take the 42 years of 2 Chronicles 22:2 as a copyist's error for an original 22 years, as in 2 Kings 8:26; some Greek and Syrian manuscripts of 2 Chronicles 22:2 give 22 years.

See also 1. * * 2. * Wikipedia:Redirects 3. * Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages Greek: Οχοζιας; Latin: Ochozias) was king of Judah, and the son of Jehoram and Athaliah, the daughter (or possibly sister) of king Ahab of Israel. He is also called Jehoahaz (2 Chronicles 21:17; 25:23). He took the throne at the age of 42 in the years of the House of Ahab, but he was biologically 22 years old (2 Chronicles 22:2). Most scholars take the 42 years of 2 Chronicles 22:2 as a copyist's error for an original 22 years, as in 2 Kings 8:26; some Greek and Syrian manuscripts of 2 Chronicles 22:2 give 22 years. William F. Albright has dated his reign to 842 BC, while E. R. Thiele offers the date 841/840 BC. As explained in the Rehoboam article, Thiele's chronology for the first kings of Judah contained an internal inconsistency that placed Ahaziah's reign one year after his mother Athaliah usurped the throne. Later scholars corrected this by dating these kings one year earlier, so that Ahaziah's dates are taken as one year earlier than Thiele's in the present article. Under the influence of his mother Athaliah, he introduced forms of worship that offended the Yahwistic party. He joined his uncle Jehoram, king of Israel, in an unsuccessful expedition against Hazael, king of the Arameans. 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. According to the account given in the Second Book of Kings, Ahaziah and Jehoram both went out to meet the rebellious general, with Jehoram learning too late of Jehu's murderous intentions. 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 Second Book of Chronicles, however, reveals a somewhat different story of Ahaziah's death, which has him hiding in Samaria after Jehu's coup, only to be found and dispatched by Jehu's henchmen on their king's orders (2 Chronicles 22:9). Ahaziah is said to have reigned only one year (2 Kings 8:26).
