2 Kings 1:17-18

Easy-to-Read Version

Joram Takes Ahaziah’s Place

¹⁷ Ahaziah died, just as the Lord said through Elijah. Ahaziah did not have a son, so Joram became the new king after Ahaziah. He began to rule during the second year that Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat was the king of Judah.

¹⁸ The other things that Ahaziah did are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Israel.
