Jehoahaz began to reign when he was twenty years old, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord as the house of Ahab [had done]; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

And Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the royal heirs.
