1 Constituerunt autem habita tores Ierusalem Ochoziam fi lium eius minimum regem pro eo; omnes enim maiores natu interfecerat turba, quae irruerat cum Arabibus in castra. Regnavitque Ochozias filius Ioram regis Iudae.	1 Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem appointed his youngest son, Ahaziah, as king in his place. For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah.
2 Filius viginti duo annorum erat Ochozias, cum regnare coepisset, et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Athalia filia Amri.	2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
3 Sed et ipse ingressus est per vias domus Achab; mater enim eius impulit eum, ut impie ageret.	3 But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously.
4 Fecit igitur malum in conspectu Domini sicut domus Achab; ipsi enim fuerunt ei consiliarii post mortem patris sui in interitum eius.	4 And so he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For after the death of his father, they were counselors to him, to his destruction.
5 Ambulavitque in consiliis eorum et perrexit cum Ioram filio Achab rege Israel in bellum contra Hazael regem Syriae in Ramoth Galaad; vulneraveruntque Syri Ioram.	5 And he walked in their counsels. And he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, to war against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 Qui reversus est, ut curaretur in Iezrahel a plagis, quas acceperat in supradicto certamine. Igitur Ochozias filius Ioram rex Iudae descendit, ut inviseret Ioram filium Achab in Iezrahel aegrotantem.	6 And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.
7 Voluntatis quippe fuit Dei adversum Ochoziam, ut veniret ad Ioram et, cum venisset, egrederetur cum eo adversum Iehu filium Namsi, quem unxit Dominus, ut deleret domum Achab.	7 Indeed, it was the will of God against Ahaziah that he would go to Joram, and when he had gone, that he also would go out with him against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 Cum ergo iudicium faceret Iehu in domum Achab, invenit principes Iudae et filios fratrum Ochoziae, qui ministrabant ei, et interfecit illos.	8 Therefore, when Jehu was overthrowing the house of Ahab, he found the leaders of Judah, with the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were ministering to him, and he put them to death.
9 Ipsumque perquisivit Ochoziam, et comprehenderunt eum latentem in Samaria; adductumque ad se Iehu occidit. Et sepelierunt eum, eo quod dicebant eum esse filium Iosaphat, qui quaesierat Dominum in toto corde suo. Nec erat aliquis de stirpe Ochoziae, qui posset regnare.	9 Also, while he himself was seeking Ahaziah, he found him to be hiding in Samaria. And having been led to him, he killed him. And they buried him, because he was the son of Jehoshaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. But there was no longer any hope that someone from the stock of Ahaziah would reign.
10 Athalia autem mater eius videns quod mortuus esset filius suus surrexit et interfecit omnem stirpem regiam domus Iudae.	10 For indeed, his mother, Athaliah, seeing that her son had died, rose up and killed the entire royal stock of the house of Jehoram.
11 Porro Iosabeth filia regis tulit Ioas filium Ochoziae et furata est eum de medio filiorum regis, cum interficerentur, absconditque cum nutrice sua in cubiculo lectulorum. Iosabeth autem, quae absconderat eum, erat filia regis Ioram, uxor Ioiadae pontificis, soror Ochoziae; et idcirco Athalia non interfecit eum.	11 But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst the king’s sons when they were being slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. Now Jehosheba, the one who had hidden him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of the high priest Jehoiada, and the sister of Ahaziah. And because of this, Athaliah did not kill him.
12 Fuit ergo cum eis in domo Dei absconditus sex annis, quibus regnavit Athalia super terram.	12 Therefore, he was with them, hidden in the house of God, for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
