2 Chronicles 22:4-6
New English Translation

4 He did evil in the sight of[a] the Lord like Ahab’s dynasty because, after his father’s death, they[b] gave him advice that led to his destruction. 5 He followed their advice and joined Ahab’s son King Joram[c] of Israel in a battle against King Hazael of Syria[d] at Ramoth Gilead in which the Syrians defeated Joram. 6 Joram[e] returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he received from the Syrians[f] in Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Syria. Ahaziah[g] son of King Jehoram of Judah went down to visit Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he had been wounded.[h]
