II Chronicles 22

vayyamlikhu yosheve yerushalai͏m et-akhazyahu veno haqqaton takhtayw ki khol-harishonim harag haggedud habba va'arvim lammakhaneh vayyimlokh akhazyahu ven-yehoram melekh yehudah

The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his stead, because all the older ones had been killed by the troops that penetrated the camp with the Arabs. Ahaziah son of Jehoram reigned as king of Judah.

ben-arba'im ushetayim shanah akhazyahu vemolkho veshanah akhat malakh birushalai͏m veshem immo atalyahu bat-omri

Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year; his mother’s name was Athaliah daughter of Omri.

gam-hu halakh bedarkhe bet akhav ki immo hayetah yo'atsto leharshia

He too followed the practices of the house of Ahab, for his mother counseled him to do evil.

vayya'as hara be'ene Adonai kevet akhav ki-hemmah hayu-lo yo'atsim akhare mot aviv lemashkhit lo

He did what was displeasing to GOD, like the house of Ahab, for they became his counselors after his father’s death, to his ruination.

gam ba'atsatam halakh vayyelekh et-yehoram ben-akhav melekh yisra'el lammilkhamah al-khaza'el melekh-aram beramot gilad vayyakku harammim et-yoram

Moreover, he followed their counsel and marched with Jehoram son of King Ahab of Israel to battle against King Hazael of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, where the Arameans wounded Joram.

vayyashov lehitrappe veyizre'el ki hammakkim asher hikkuhu varamah behillakhamo et-khazahel melekh aram va'azaryahu ven-yehoram melekh yehudah yarad lirot et-yehoram ben-akhav beyizre'el ki-kholeh hu

He returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Aram. King Azariah son of Jehoram of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Jehoram son of Ahab while he was ill.

ume'elohim hayetah tevusat akhazyahu lavo el-yoram uvevo'o yatsa im-yehoram el-yehu ven-nimshi asher meshakho Adonai lehakhrit et-bet akhav

God caused the downfall of Ahaziah because he visited Joram. During his visit he went out with Jehoram to Jehu son of Nimshi, whom GOD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

vayehi kehishafet yehu im-bet akhav vayyimtsa et-sare yehudah uvene akhe akhazyahu mesharetim la'akhazyahu vayyahargem

In the course of bringing the house of Ahab to judgment, Jehu came upon the officers of Judah and the nephews of Ahaziah, ministers of Ahaziah, and killed them.

vayevaqqesh et-akhazyahu vayyilkeduhu vehu mitkhabbe veshomeron vayevi'uhu el-yehu vayemituhu vayyiqberuhu ki ameru ben-yehoshafat hu asher-darash et-Adonai bekhol-levavo ve'en levet akhazyahu latsor koakh lemamlakhah

He sent in search of Ahaziah, who was caught hiding in Samaria, was brought to Jehu, and put to death. He was given a burial, because it was said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat who worshiped GOD wholeheartedly.” So the house of Ahaziah could not muster the strength to rule.

va'atalyahu em akhazyahu ra'atah ki met benah vattaqom vattedabber et-kol-zera hammamlakhah levet yehudah

When Athaliah, Ahaziah’s mother, learned that her son was dead, she promptly did away with all who were of the royal stock of the house of Judah.

vattiqqakh yehoshavat bat-hammelekh et-yo'ash ben-akhazyahu vattignov oto mittokh bene-hammelekh hammumatim vattitten oto ve'et-meniqto bakhadar hammittot vattastirehu yehoshavat bat-hammelekh yehoram eshet yehoyada hakkohen ki hi hayetah akhot akhazyahu mippene atalyahu velo hemitatehu

But Jehoshabeath, daughter of the king, spirited away Ahaziah’s son Joash from among the princes who were being slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Jehoshabeath, daughter of King Jehoram, wife of the priest Jehoiada—she was the sister of Ahaziah—kept him hidden from Athaliah so that he was not put to death.

vayehi ittam bevet ha'elohim mitkhabbe shesh shanim va'atalyah molekhet al-ha'arets

He stayed with them for six years, hidden in the House of God, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
