These are the accounts and chaos of kingdoms under sin that are not ruled by God's holiness. King Ahaziah Rules in Judah for only one year. (Like his father, King Jehoram of Judah, he too is a bad king. He meets his downfall when he and the king of Israel-King Joram-are cut down by Jehu. His mother Athalia - who is the sister of King Joram and the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel - afterwards rules in Judah for six years. She also tried to have her grandson Joash - the next heir to the Davidic dynasty - killed, but was not successful. His aunt Jehosheba - a daughter of King Jehoram - saved his life.)
