Ahaziah
    held by Jehovah. (1.) The son and successor of Ahab. He followed
    the counsels of his mother Jezebel, and imitated in wickedness
    the ways of his father. In his reign the Moabites revolted from
    under his authority (2 Kings 3:5-7). He united with Jehoshaphat
    in an attempt to revive maritime trade by the Red Sea, which
    proved a failure (2 Chr. 20:35-37). His messengers, sent to
    consult the god of Ekron regarding his recovery from the effects
    of a fall from the roof-gallery of his palace, were met on the
    way by Elijah, who sent them back to tell the king that he would
    never rise from his bed (1 Kings 22:51; 2 Kings 1:18).

      (2.) The son of Joram, or Jehoram, and sixth king of Judah.
    Called Jehoahaz (2 Chr. 21:17; 25:23), and Azariah (2 Chr.
    22:6). Guided by his idolatrous mother Athaliah, his reign was
    disastrous (2 Kings 8:24-29; 9:29). He joined his uncle Jehoram,
    king of Israel, in an expedition against Hazael, king of
    Damascus; but was wounded at the pass of Gur when attempting to
    escape, and had strength only to reach Megiddo, where he died (2
    Kings 9:22-28). He reigned only one year.
