2 Chronicles 22:9

Next

And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he [is] the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

And he sought {H1245} Ahaziah {H274}: and they caught {H3920} him,(for he was hid {H2244} in Samaria {H8111},) and brought {H935} him to Jehu {H3058}: and when they had slain {H4191} him, they buried {H6912} him: Because, said {H559} they, he is the son {H1121} of Jehoshaphat {H3092}, who sought {H1875} the LORD {H3068} with all his heart {H3824}. So the house {H1004} of Ahaziah {H274} had no power {H3581} to keep {H6113} still the kingdom {H4467}.

Then he went searching for Achazyah; they caught him where he had been hiding in Shomron, brought him to Yehu and killed him. But [his subjects] buried him, because they said, "He was the [grand]son of Y'hoshafat, who sought ADONAI with all his heart." At this point there was no one in the house of Achazyah strong enough to rule the kingdom.

Then Jehu looked for Ahaziah, and Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So Ahaziah was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from the house of Ahaziah with the strength to rule the kingdom.

And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. And the house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
