Zibiah, born in Beersheba, Judah, S.Kingdom; died in Jerusalem, Judah, S.Kingdom.

Notes for Ahaziah:

Ahaziah was 21 years old when he became king of Judah.  His grandparents (on his father's side) were King Jehoshaphat, one of the most righteous kings of Judah, and (on his mother's side) King Ahab & Jezebel, two of the most wicked rulers of the northern kingdom of Israel.  I can't imagine what it must have been like to have those two as grandparents.

Ahaziah's Family

Ahaziah was the youngest son of King Jehoram.  He was the only son of the king to survive the attack of Arabians on Jerusalem (see 2 Chronicles 21:1 or the previous section for more about that). 

2 Chronicles says that Ahaziah was 42 years old when he became king, but 2 Kings says that he was 22 years old.  The Kings version has to be the correct one, because he would have been older than his father if he was 42 years old at his coronation.

Ahaziah was the product of the marriage between King Jehoram of Judah (from the line of David) and Athaliah, daughter of King Ahab and Jezebel (from the Sidonians).  Jezebel influenced King Ahab to bring Baal worship to the northern kingdom of Israel and Athaliah influenced King Jehoram to bring Baal worship to the kingdom of Judah.

Young Ahaziah

For the first sixteen years of Ahaziah's life, Jehoshaphat was king over Judah.  It was a peaceful, prosperous and righteous time.  The neighboring nations feared Judah and brought gifts to the king.  When King Jehoshaphat went out to war, he sought the Lord and won many victories.

But I wonder what it must have been like to know that someone like King Ahab as your "grampa"?  Or to have someone like Jezebel as your "gramma"?  After his grandfather died, Ahaziah's uncles were the kings of Israel.

Ahaziah probably was not highly regarded in his family, since he was the youngest.  The eldest was probably being prepared to take over the throne one day.  The others were probably seeking to excel in one area or another.  Little Ahaziah may have been the cutest, the one who was spoiled (or picked on) by the others.  But he probably wasn't highly respected.

When King Jehoshaphat died, Ahaziah's father, Jehoram, became king of Judah.  Then King Jehoram killed all of his brothers.  What must it have been like for Ahaziah, who was a teenager by that time, when his uncles were killed?  And by his own father?

Ahaziah lived throughout his father's reign.  He watched the idols being set up again, and probably worshiped at them himself.  He lived through the time when revolts broke out, in Edom and Libnah (his older brothers may have gone with their father and the chariot forces to fight against Edom, but Ahaziah, as the youngest, probably was not invited to come along).

Then Ahaziah watched the Philistines and Arabians attack Jerusalem, and break into his house, and kill all of his brothers and their mothers.  It isn't known where Ahaziah was at the time, or why he was the only one to escape.  The Bible says that King Jehoram, Athaliah, and Ahaziah lived beyond the attack.

Finally, young Ahaziah watched his father contract a horrible disease, lingering in pain for two years before he finally died. 

King Ahaziah's Short Reign

Thus Ahaziah became king of Judah.  There was no contest to his claim to the throne- he was the only heir left.  In fact, the people were probably glad to make him king.  The Bible says that King Jehoram "departed without being desired" (2 Chronicles 21:20).  He made such a mess of the kingdom that people were probably glad that he was gone.  It was probably a happy ceremony when Ahaziah was crowned king.

King Ahaziah's reign didn't last long (only one year, or part of a year), but he continued in the way of his parents, who went in the way of King Ahab.  As the Bible says, King Ahaziah "did evil in the sight of the Lord" (2 Kings 8:27).

One of the things that King Ahaziah did was to join his uncle, King Jehoram of Israel, in fighting the Arameans (or Syrians).  In doing this, he was following another old family tradition.  His grandfather Jehoshaphat joined King Ahab in a military campaign.  Everything was the same as with Jehoshaphat and Ahab- they fought the same enemy (the Arameans) for the same territory (Ramoth in Gilead).  The Israelite king wound up dead in both situations, although the timing was a little different.  King Ahab was wounded and died in battle, and King Jehoram was wounded but didn't die from those wounds (he died from other wounds).

King Jehoram was wounded and was taken back to his residence in Jezreel.  This was the home of Israel's kings- the Bible records many actions of King Ahab in Jezreel. 

King Ahaziah visited his uncle in Jezreel, but he shouldn't have.  That's because Jehu came to Jezreel and killed King Jehoram.  He also killed King Ahaziah.  Then he went on and killed Jezebel and all the rest of King Ahab's family.  Click on "Jehu" below for more about this massacre, how Jehu reigned as king over Israel, and how his sons reigned as king.

According to the version in Kings, Ahaziah fled from Jezreel after his uncle, King Jehoram, was killed.  Jehu sent men after Ahaziah, and they wounded him in his chariot.  Ahaziah kept going to Megiddo, but that's as far as he got.  He died there, and was taken back to be buried in Jerusalem.  In the version in Chronicles, Ahaziah was captured and brought back to Jehu.  He was killed, but Jehu commanded that he be buried, since he was the grandson of the righteous King Jehoshaphat.

In either version, Ahaziah's body was brought back to Jerusalem where he was buried.  Then his mother, Athaliah, took over and ruled over Judah.

Athaliah, born in Shechem, Samaria, N.Kingdom; died in Jerusalem, Judah, S.Kingdom.  She was the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel.

Notes for Jehoram:

Jehoram reigned eight years over Judah and, according to Scripture, not a single good thing came out of it. He began his reign wickedly - killing all his brothers in order that no one would be able to threaten his authority. Politically, it was during Jehoram's reign that Edom, a vassal of Israel, broke away from the subjugation of the kingdom. Spiritually, Jehoram undid the good work of his predecessor, making "high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem thereto" (II Chronicles 21:11). Because of his extensive sins, Jehoram was subject to brutal judgment; he was struck with a disease of the bowels, which eventually led to the need for his bowels to be removed. Furthermore, God roused the Philistines, Arabs, and Ethiopians against Judah. Jehoram died wretchedly, in great pain, and with his people facing enemies from every side.
