אֲחַזְיָ֫הוּ

1 Kings 22:40 אֲחַזְיָ֥הוּ Ahaziah

And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.

Here: "YHWH has grasped/held". Strikingly, the son of the Baal-sponsoring Ahab and Jezebel bears a name honoring Israel's God; the irony is not commented on, but 22:51–53 says he followed Baal anyway.

1 Kings 22:49 אֲחַזְיָ֤הוּ Ahaziah

At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants,” but Jehoshaphat refused.

In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years.

2 Kings 1:2 אֲחַזְיָ֜ה Ahaziah

Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers and instructed them: “Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”

Here: The king's name means "Yah (the LORD) has grasped/held." That is ironic, because this son of Ahab and Jezebel turns away from the God his name honours.

As for the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

“Harness!” Joram shouted, and they harnessed his chariot. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah set out, each in his own chariot, and met Jehu on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.

Here: Ahaziah of Judah, whose name means 'YHWH has grasped'. His mother Athaliah was of Ahab's house (8:26–27), which makes him Joram's nephew and ties him to the doomed dynasty.

2 Kings 9:23 אֲחַזְיָ֖הוּ אֲחַזְיָֽה׃ Ahaziah, O Ahaziah

Joram turned around and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”

2 Kings 9:27 וַאֲחַזְיָ֤ה and Ahaziah

When King Ahaziah of Judah saw this, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him, shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot on the Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam, and he fled to Megiddo and died there.

When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs.

Here: King of Judah for one year, killed in Jehu's coup while visiting the northern king (2 Kgs 9:27). The name means roughly 'Yahweh has taken hold'.

So Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.

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.

2 Chronicles 22:10 אֲחַזְיָ֔הוּ Ahaziah

When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.

But Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so that she could not kill him.
