Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 Jehoram rested with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and his son Ahaziah became king in his place.(A)
Judah’s King Ahaziah
25 In the twelfth year of Israel’s King Joram son of Ahab,(B) Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.(C) 26 Ahaziah was 22 years old when he became king and reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah, granddaughter of Israel’s King Omri.(D) 27 He walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord’s sight like the house of Ahab,(E) for he was a son-in-law to Ahab’s family.
28 Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to fight against Hazael(F) king of Aram in Ramoth-gilead,(G) and the Arameans wounded Joram. 29 So King Joram returned to Jezreel(H) to recover from the wounds that the Arameans had inflicted on him in Ramoth-gilead[a] when he fought against Aram’s King Hazael.(I) Then Judah’s King Ahaziah son of Jehoram went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab since Joram was ill.

Ahaziah King of Judah(A)
25 In the twelfth(B) year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign. 26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah,(C) a granddaughter of Omri(D) king of Israel. 27 He followed the ways of the house of Ahab(E) and did evil(F) in the eyes of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done, for he was related by marriage to Ahab’s family.
28 Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead.(G) The Arameans wounded Joram; 29 so King Joram returned to Jezreel(H) to recover from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramoth[a] in his battle with Hazael(I) king of Aram.
Then Ahaziah(J) son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to see Joram son of Ahab, because he had been wounded.
