2 Chronicles 22:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Two and [a]forty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned [b]one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter [c]of Omri.
3 He walked also in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother counseled him to do wickedly.
4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for they were his [d]counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
