2 Chronicles 22:5-7
GOD’S WORD Translation
5 Ahaziah followed their advice and went with Ahab’s son King Joram [a] of Israel to fight against King Hazael of Aram at Ramoth Gilead. There the Arameans wounded Joram. 6 Joram returned to Jezreel to let his wounds heal. (He had been wounded by the Arameans at Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Aram.) Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah [b] went to Jezreel to see Ahab’s son Joram, who was sick.
7 God brought about Ahaziah’s downfall when he went to Joram. He went with Joram to meet Jehu, grandson of Nimshi. (The Lord had anointed Jehu to destroy Ahab’s family.)
