24 And Jehoram (YHWH is exalted) rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David (beloved). And his son Ahaziah (YHWH holds) reigned in his place. 25 In the twelfth year of the reign of Joram (YHWH is exalted) son of Ahab (father's brother) over Israel (he wrestles with God), Ahaziah (YHWH holds) son of Jehoram became king of Judah (praised). 26 Ahaziah (YHWH holds) was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem (city of peace) one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah (afflicted of YHWH), the granddaughter of Omri (pupil of YHWH) king of Israel (he wrestles with God). 27 And Ahaziah walked in the ways of the house of Ahab (father's brother) and did evil in the sight of the LORD {YHWH} like the house of Ahab, for he was a son-in-law of the house of Ahab. 28 Then Ahaziah went with Joram (YHWH is exalted) son of Ahab (father's brother) to fight against Hazael (one who sees God) king of Aram (exalted) at Ramoth-gilead (heights) (rocky region), and the Arameans wounded Joram. 29 So King Joram (YHWH is exalted) returned to Jezreel (God sows) to recover from the wounds that the Arameans (exalted) had inflicted on him at Ramah (Ramoth) when he fought against Hazael (one who sees God) king of Aram. Then Ahaziah (YHWH holds) son of Jehoram king of Judah (praised) went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab (father's brother), because Joram had been wounded. 2 Kings 8:24-29, Berean Annotated Bible.
