2 Chronicles
2 Chronicles 22:9
9Then 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.
