2 Kings 8-9 | 2 Chronicles 21:4-22:9

In Israel Joram (or Jehoram), the son of Ahab was king, and when Jehoshaphat (king of Judah) died, his son Jehoram reigned in his place for 8 years. Then Ahaziah, the son of Jerhoram became king in Judah, however both he and his father were wicked kings in Judah, who were related to king Ahab by marriage.

In Israel, Jehu is anointed to be king by the prophet of God, and he executes the descendants of Ahab, and Jezebel is likewise killed in fulfillment of God’s promises regarding them. Jehu also killed Ahaziah, who had been king of Judah for one year following his father’s (Jehoram) death.
