Ahaziah, אחזיהו [H274], and Jehoahaz, יהואחז [H3059], are essentially the same both in letters and sense, the word יהו, yeho, or יה, [H3050], yah, being merely transposed, but Azariah, עזריהו, [H5838], seems to have been a distinct name by which he was known. 2 Chronicles 22:1, 22:7, Ahaziah, 21:17, Jehoahazto see Jehoram 2 Kings 8:29, 10:13, 10:14 Reciprocal 8:24 - Ahaziah; 9:16 - And Ahaziah; 2 Chronicles 24:25 - great diseases; 25:23 - Jehoahaz Verse 7 destructionHeb. treading down, Malachi 4:3 was of God 2 Chronicles 10:15; Deuteronomy 32:35; Judges 14:4; 1 Kings 12:15, 22:20; Psalm 9:16; Isaiah 46:10; Hosea 14:9 he went out 2 Kings 9:21 the Lord had 1 Kings 19:16; 2 Kings 9:1-7 Reciprocal 8:29 - Ahaziah; 9:6 - I have anointed; 9:16 - And Ahaziah; 9:27 - Ahaziah; 2 Chronicles 22:6 - which were given him; 25:20 - it came of God; Psalm 118:12 - in the name Verse 8 when Jehu 2 Kings 10:10-14 Reciprocal 10:14 - neither left; 10:17 - he slew; 2 Chronicles 21:4 - slew all; 22:9 - the house; 24:24 - So; Psalm 118:12 - in the name Verse 9 he sought AhaziahThe account in the parallel passage is somewhat different. "The current of the story at large is this," says Dr. Lightfoot: "Jehu slayeth Joram in the field of Jezreel, as Ahaziah and Joram were together: Ahaziah seeing this, flies, and gets into Samaria, and hides himself there. Jehu marches to Jezreel, and makes Jezebel dogs' meat: from thence sends to Samaria for the heads of Ahab's children and posterity; which are brought him by night, and shewed to the people in the morning. Then he marches to Samaria, and, by the way, slayeth forty-two of Ahab's kinsmen, and findeth Jehonadab, the father of the Rechabites. Coming into Samaria, he maketh search for Ahaziah: they find him hid, bring him to Jehu, and he commands to carry him towards Gur, by Ibleam, and there to slay him. They do so: smite him in his chariot, and his charioteer driveth away to Megiddo before he dies."
