bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of
Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

And the men of Israel answered the men of
Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye
despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of
Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Judah?
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoram, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
In the
twelfth year of
Joram the son of
Ahab king of Israel did
Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of
Judah begin to reign.
And king
Joram went back to be
healed in
Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at
Ramah, when he fought against
Hazael king of Syria. And
Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of
Judah went down to see
Joram the son of
Ahab in
Jezreel, because he was sick.
So King
Joram returned to
Jezreel to recover from the wounds that the Arameans had inflicted on him at
Ramah when he fought against
Hazael king of
Aram. Then
Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of
Judah went down to
Jezreel to visit
Joram son of
Ahab, because
Joram had been wounded.
And
Joram said, Make ready. And his
chariot was made ready. And
Joram king of Israel and
Ahaziah king of
Judah went out, each in his
chariot, and they went out against
Jehu, and met him in the portion of
Naboth the Jezreelite.
But when
Ahaziah the king of
Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And
Jehu followed after him, and said,
Smite him also in the
chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to
Megiddo, and died there.
When King
Ahaziah of
Judah saw this, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. And
Jehu pursued him,
shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot
Ahaziah in his
chariot on the
Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam, and he fled to
Megiddo and died there.
Jehu met with the brethren of
Ahaziah king of
Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of
Ahaziah; and we go down to
salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.
Jehu met some relatives of
Ahaziah king of
Judah and asked, “Who are you?” “We are relatives of
Ahaziah,” they answered, “and we have come down to
greet the sons of the king and of the queen mother.”
And Jehoash king of
Judah took all the
hallowed things that
Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and
Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of
Judah, had dedicated, and his own
hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent it to
Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
So King
Joash of
Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers—
Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and
Ahaziah, the kings of
Judah—along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the
treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to
Hazael king of
Aram. So
Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.
And the rest of the acts of
Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Judah?
As for the rest of the acts of
Joash, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of
Judah?
In the three and
twentieth year of
Joash the son of
Ahaziah king of
Judah Jehoahaz the son of
Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.
In the twenty-third year of the reign of
Joash son of
Ahaziah over
Judah,
Jehoahaz son of
Jehu became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria seventeen years.
