2 Chronicles 22:5-7
New King James Version
5 He also followed their advice, and went with [a]Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram. 6 (A)Then he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And [b]Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
7 His going to Joram (B)was God’s occasion for Ahaziah’s [c]downfall; for when he arrived, (C)he went out with [d]Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, (D)whom the Lord had anointed to [e]cut off the house of Ahab.
