2 KINGS 1:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So he died according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.”
Joram succeeds Ahaziah in the second year of Jehoram of Judah — the succession record marks the synchronization of northern and southern kingdoms while underscoring Ahaziah's swift removal from history. Ahaziah's brief reign ends in judgment; he accomplishes nothing redemptive, leaving only the memory of a king who sought Baal-Zebub in Israel's dying hours.
