Ahaziah
Generation 8 from Adam
Biography
The son of Joram and Athaliah who became king of Judah at age 22, Ahaziah reigned only one year. Under his mother's evil influence, he walked in the ways of the house of Ahab. He allied with Joram of Israel against Syria and was killed by Jehu during God's judgment on Ahab's house.
Ahaziah's brief, wicked reign shows how quickly evil influence can corrupt, and how association with the ungodly can lead to sharing in their judgment.
