2 Chronicles 22 (WEBP)

[1] The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, because the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the oldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
[2] Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
[3] He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counselor in acting wickedly.
[4] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
[5] He also followed their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
[6] He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
[7] Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram; for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had anointed to cut off Ahab’s house.
[8] When Jehu was executing judgment on Ahab’s house, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah serving Ahaziah, and killed them.
[9] He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
[10] Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring of the house of Judah.
[11] But Jehoshabeath, the king’s daughter, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stealthily rescued him from among the king’s sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she didn’t kill him.
[12] He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.

[1] και εβασιλευσαν οι κατοικουντες εν ιερουσαλημ τον οχοζιαν υιον αυτου τον μικρον αντ αυτου οτι παντας τους πρεσβυτερους απεκτεινεν το ληστηριον το επελθον επ αυτους οι αραβες και οι αλιμαζονεις και εβασιλευσεν οχοζιας υιος ιωραμ βασιλεως ιουδα
[2] ων εικοσι ετων οχοζιας εβασιλευσεν και ενιαυτον ενα εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου γοθολια θυγατηρ αμβρι
[3] και ουτος επορευθη εν οδω οικου αχααβ οτι μητηρ αυτου ην συμβουλος του αμαρτανειν
[4] και εποιησεν το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου ως οικος αχααβ οτι αυτοι ησαν αυτω μετα το αποθανειν τον πατερα αυτου συμβουλοι του εξολεθρευσαι αυτον
[5] και εν ταις βουλαις αυτων επορευθη και επορευθη μετα ιωραμ υιου αχααβ εις πολεμον επι αζαηλ βασιλεα συριας εις ραμα γαλααδ και επαταξαν οι τοξοται τον ιωραμ
[6] και επεστρεψεν ιωραμ του ιατρευθηναι εις ιεζραελ απο των πληγων ων επαταξαν αυτον οι συροι εν ραμα εν τω πολεμειν αυτον προς αζαηλ βασιλεα συριας και οχοζιας υιος ιωραμ βασιλευς ιουδα κατεβη θεασασθαι τον ιωραμ υιον αχααβ εις ιεζραελ οτι ηρρωστει
[7] και παρα του θεου εγενετο καταστροφη οχοζια ελθειν προς ιωραμ και εν τω ελθειν αυτον εξηλθεν μετ αυτου ιωραμ προς ιου υιον ναμεσσι χριστον κυριου τον οικον αχααβ
[8] και εγενετο ως εξεδικησεν ιου τον οικον αχααβ και ευρεν τους αρχοντας ιουδα και τους αδελφους οχοζια λειτουργουντας τω οχοζια και απεκτεινεν αυτους
[9] και ειπεν του ζητησαι τον οχοζιαν και κατελαβον αυτον ιατρευομενον εν σαμαρεια και ηγαγον αυτον προς ιου και απεκτεινεν αυτον και εθαψαν αυτον οτι ειπαν υιος ιωσαφατ εστιν ος εζητησεν τον κυριον εν ολη καρδια αυτου και ουκ ην εν οικω οχοζια κατισχυσαι δυναμιν περι της βασιλειας
[10] και γοθολια η μητηρ οχοζια ειδεν οτι τεθνηκεν αυτης ο υιος και ηγερθη και απωλεσεν παν το σπερμα της βασιλειας εν οικω ιουδα
[11] και ελαβεν ιωσαβεθ η θυγατηρ του βασιλεως τον ιωας υιον οχοζια και εκλεψεν αυτον εκ μεσου υιων του βασιλεως των θανατουμενων και εδωκεν αυτον και την τροφον αυτου εις ταμιειον των κλινων και εκρυψεν αυτον ιωσαβεθ θυγατηρ του βασιλεως ιωραμ αδελφη οχοζιου γυνη ιωδαε του ιερεως και εκρυψεν αυτον απο προσωπου γοθολιας και ουκ απεκτεινεν αυτον
[12] και ην μετ αυτης εν οικω του θεου κατακεκρυμμενος εξ ετη και γοθολια εβασιλευσεν επι της γης
