22:1

The Athaliah Usurpation and the Shielding of the Royal Seed

And the inhabitants of Yarushalayim made Ahazyahu his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahazyahu the son of Yahoram king of Yahudah reigned.
22:2
Forty and two years old was Ahazyahu when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Yarushalayim. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
22:3

The Counsel of the Corrupted Matrix

He also walked in the ways of the house of Achab: for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.
22:4
Wherefore he did evil in the sight of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 like the house of Achab: for they were his counselors after the death of his father to his destruction.
22:5

The Fatal Alliance at Ramoth-Gilad

He walked also after their counsel, and went with Yahoram the son of Achab king of Yashar'al to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-Gilad: and the Arameans smote Yoram.
22:6
And he returned to be healed in Yizreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Aram. And Azaryahu the son of Yahoram king of Yahudah went down to see Yahoram the son of Achab at Yizreel, because he was sick.
22:7

The Decree of Celestial Execution

And the destruction of Ahazyahu was of Alahiym by coming to Yoram: for when he was come, he went out with Yahoram against Yehu the son of Nimshi, whom 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had anointed to cut off the house of Achab.
22:8

The Purge of the Yahudah Princes

And it came to pass, that, when Yehu was executing judgment upon the house of Achab, and found the princes of Yahudah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahazyahu, that ministered to Ahazyahu, he slew them.
22:9

The Termination of Ahazyahu

And he sought Ahazyahu: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Shomeron,) and brought him to Yehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: "Because," said they, "he is the son of Yahushaphat, who sought 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 with all his heart." So the house of Ahazyahu had no power to keep still the kingdom.
22:10

The Usurpation and the Purge of the Seed

But when Athaliah the mother of Ahazyahu saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Yahudah.
22:11

The Sanctuary Shield Protocol

But Yahoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Yoash the son of Ahazyahu, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Yahoshabeath, the daughter of king Yahoram, the wife of Yahuyada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahazyahu,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
22:12

The Six Years of Concealment

And he was with them hid in the house of Alahiym six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
