2 Chronicles 22:8-10
New English Translation

8 While Jehu was dishing out punishment to Ahab’s family, he discovered the officials of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s relatives who were serving Ahaziah and killed them. 9 He looked for Ahaziah, who was captured while hiding in Samaria. They brought him to Jehu and then executed him. They did give him a burial, for they reasoned,[a] “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with his whole heart.” There was no one in Ahaziah’s family strong enough to rule in his place.[b]

10 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she was determined to destroy the entire royal line[c] of Judah.[d]
