2 Kings 1:17-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ So King Ahaziah died. It happened just as the Lord had said it would. He had spoken that message through Elijah.

Ahaziah didn’t have any sons. So Joram, his younger brother, became the next king after him. It was the second year of Jehoram, the king of Judah. Jehoram was the son of Jehoshaphat. ¹⁸ All the other events of Ahaziah’s rule are written down. Everything he did is written in the official records of the kings of Israel.
