New King James Version
2 Chronicles 22:7-9
New King James Version
7 His going to Joram (A)was God’s occasion for Ahaziah’s [a]downfall; for when he arrived, (B)he went out with [b]Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, (C)whom the Lord had anointed to [c]cut off the house of Ahab. 8 And it happened, when Jehu was (D)executing judgment on the house of Ahab, and (E)found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who served Ahaziah, that he killed them. 9 (F)Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, “because,” they said, “he is the son of (G)Jehoshaphat, who (H)sought the Lord with all his heart.”
So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.

2 Chronicles 22:7-9
New International Version
7 Through Ahaziah’s(A) visit to Joram, God brought about Ahaziah’s downfall. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab. 8 While Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab,(B) he found the officials of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s relatives, who had been attending Ahaziah, and he killed them. 9 He then went in search of Ahaziah, and his men captured him while he was hiding(C) in Samaria. He was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He was a son of Jehoshaphat, who sought(D) the Lord with all his heart.” So there was no one in the house of Ahaziah powerful enough to retain the kingdom.
