2 Chronicles Chapter 22 דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים ב

א  וַיַּמְלִיכוּ יוֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶת-אֲחַזְיָהוּ בְנוֹ הַקָּטֹן, תַּחְתָּיו--כִּי כָל-הָרִאשֹׁנִים הָרַג הַגְּדוּד, הַבָּא בָעַרְבִים לַמַּחֲנֶה; וַיִּמְלֹךְ אֲחַזְיָהוּ בֶן-יְהוֹרָם, מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה.  {פ} 1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah 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 Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned. {P}
ב  בֶּן-אַרְבָּעִים וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנָה, אֲחַזְיָהוּ בְמָלְכוֹ, וְשָׁנָה אַחַת, מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם; וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ, עֲתַלְיָהוּ בַּת-עָמְרִי. 2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
ג  גַּם-הוּא הָלַךְ, בְּדַרְכֵי בֵּית אַחְאָב:  כִּי אִמּוֹ הָיְתָה יוֹעַצְתּוֹ, לְהַרְשִׁיעַ. 3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
ד  וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה, כְּבֵית אַחְאָב:  כִּי-הֵמָּה הָיוּ-לוֹ יוֹעֲצִים, אַחֲרֵי מוֹת אָבִיו--לְמַשְׁחִית לוֹ. 4 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
ה  גַּם בַּעֲצָתָם, הָלַךְ, וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶת-יְהוֹרָם בֶּן-אַחְאָב מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לַמִּלְחָמָה עַל-חֲזָאֵל מֶלֶךְ-אֲרָם, בְּרָמוֹת גִּלְעָד; וַיַּכּוּ הָרַמִּים, אֶת-יוֹרָם. 5 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead; and the Arameans wounded Joram.
ו  וַיָּשָׁב לְהִתְרַפֵּא בְיִזְרְעֶאל, כִּי הַמַּכִּים אֲשֶׁר הִכֻּהוּ בָרָמָה, בְּהִלָּחֲמוֹ, אֶת-חֲזָהאֵל מֶלֶךְ אֲרָם; וַעֲזַרְיָהוּ בֶן-יְהוֹרָם מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה, יָרַד לִרְאוֹת אֶת-יְהוֹרָם בֶּן-אַחְאָב בְּיִזְרְעֶאל--כִּי-חֹלֶה הוּא. 6 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
ז  וּמֵאֱלֹהִים, הָיְתָה תְּבוּסַת אֲחַזְיָהוּ, לָבוֹא, אֶל-יוֹרָם; וּבְבֹאוֹ, יָצָא עִם-יְהוֹרָם אֶל-יֵהוּא בֶן-נִמְשִׁי, אֲשֶׁר מְשָׁחוֹ יְהוָה, לְהַכְרִית אֶת-בֵּית אַחְאָב. 7 Now the downfall of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went unto Joram; for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
ח  וַיְהִי, כְּהִשָּׁפֵט יֵהוּא עִם-בֵּית אַחְאָב; וַיִּמְצָא אֶת-שָׂרֵי יְהוּדָה וּבְנֵי אֲחֵי אֲחַזְיָהוּ, מְשָׁרְתִים לַאֲחַזְיָהוּ--וַיַּהַרְגֵם. 8 And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them.
ט  וַיְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-אֲחַזְיָהוּ וַיִּלְכְּדֻהוּ וְהוּא מִתְחַבֵּא בְשֹׁמְרוֹן, וַיְבִאֻהוּ אֶל-יֵהוּא וַיְמִיתֻהוּ, וַיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ, כִּי אָמְרוּ בֶּן-יְהוֹשָׁפָט הוּא אֲשֶׁר-דָּרַשׁ אֶת-יְהוָה בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ; וְאֵין לְבֵית אֲחַזְיָהוּ, לַעְצֹר כֹּחַ לְמַמְלָכָה. 9 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 the LORD with all his heart.' And there was none of the house of Ahaziah that had power to hold the kingdom.
י  וַעֲתַלְיָהוּ אֵם אֲחַזְיָהוּ, רָאֲתָה כִּי מֵת בְּנָהּ; וַתָּקָם, וַתְּדַבֵּר אֶת-כָּל-זֶרַע הַמַּמְלָכָה--לְבֵית יְהוּדָה. 10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
יא  וַתִּקַּח יְהוֹשַׁבְעַת בַּת-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-יוֹאָשׁ בֶּן-אֲחַזְיָהוּ, וַתִּגְנֹב אֹתוֹ מִתּוֹךְ בְּנֵי-הַמֶּלֶךְ הַמּוּמָתִים, וַתִּתֵּן אֹתוֹ וְאֶת-מֵינִקְתּוֹ, בַּחֲדַר הַמִּטּוֹת; וַתַּסְתִּירֵהוּ יְהוֹשַׁבְעַת בַּת-הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוֹרָם אֵשֶׁת יְהוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן כִּי הִיא הָיְתָה אֲחוֹת אֲחַזְיָהוּ, מִפְּנֵי עֲתַלְיָהוּ--וְלֹא הֱמִיתָתְהוּ. 11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bed-chamber. 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 slew him not.
יב  וַיְהִי אִתָּם בְּבֵית הָאֱלֹהִים, מִתְחַבֵּא שֵׁשׁ שָׁנִים; וַעֲתַלְיָה, מֹלֶכֶת עַל-הָאָרֶץ.  {פ} 12 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years; and Athaliah reigned over the land. {P}
