Ahaziah of Judah: A King’s Downfall Through Wicked Counsel 2 Chronicles 22

King Ahaziah of Judah, son of Jehoram and Athaliah, reigned for only one year, heavily influenced by his mother's idolatrous and wicked counsel, continuing in the sinful ways of his grandparents Ahab and Jezebel. His alliance with King Jehoram of Israel led him into a conflict with the Syrians, and his eventual visit to the wounded Jehoram resulted in his death at the hands of Jehu, fulfilling God's judgment on his wicked reign. This narrative underscores the themes of divine judgment on sin, the dangers of idolatry, and the importance of seeking the Lord.
