¹And 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.

¹亞哈謝作猶大王（王下8:25~29）耶路撒冷的居民立了約蘭的小兒子亞哈謝接續他作王；因為那些和阿拉伯人同來攻營的匪徒，把亞哈謝的哥哥全都殺了。這樣，猶大王約蘭的兒子亞哈謝就作了王。

²Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.

²亞哈謝登基的時候是二十二歲（“二十二歲”原文作“四十二歲”；現參照古譯本和王下8:26修譯）；他在耶路撒冷作王一年。他的母親名叫亞他利雅，是暗利的孫女。

³He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.

³亞哈謝也隨從亞哈家的道路，因為他母親教唆他行惡。

⁴Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counselors after the death of his father to his destruction.

⁴他行耶和華看為惡的事，好像亞哈家一樣，因為他的父親死了以後，亞哈家的人就教唆他，好使他滅亡。

⁵He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.

⁵他隨從了他們的計謀，和以色列王亞哈的兒子約蘭一同到基列的拉末去，和亞蘭王哈薛交戰；亞蘭人擊傷了約蘭。

⁶And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.

⁶於是約蘭回到耶斯列去，醫治他在拉末和亞蘭王交戰的時候所受的傷。猶大王約蘭的兒子亞撒利雅，因亞哈的兒子約蘭病了，就下到耶斯列去看他。

⁷And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to 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.

⁷亞哈謝遭害（王下9:14~28）亞哈謝去見約蘭，就遇了害，這原是出於　神；因為他去到以後，就和約蘭一同出去攻擊寧示的孫子耶戶。這耶戶就是耶和華所膏的，為要除滅亞哈家。

⁸And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.

⁸耶戶討伐亞哈家的罪的時候，遇見了猶大的眾領袖和亞哈謝的兄弟的兒子，他們都是侍候亞哈謝的，耶戶把他們都殺了。

⁹And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

⁹耶戶追尋亞哈謝。那時，亞哈謝躲藏在撒瑪利亞，有人捉住他，把他帶到耶戶那裡，耶戶就殺了他，卻把他埋葬了，因為他們說：“他是約沙法的孫子；這約沙法是一心尋求耶和華的。”這樣，亞哈謝的家沒有一人有能力可以保持王權的。

¹⁰But 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.

¹⁰亞他利雅弄權（王下11:1~3）亞哈謝的母親亞他利雅見自己的兒子死了，就起來殺盡猶大家中所有王族的後裔。

¹¹But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. 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.

¹¹但是王的女兒約示巴，把亞哈謝的兒子約阿施從那些將要被殺的王子中偷出來，把他和他的乳母都藏在臥房裡。約蘭王的女兒約示巴是大祭司耶何耶大的妻子，把約阿施收藏起來，躲避亞他利雅，免得被亞他利雅殺死，因為約示巴是亞哈謝的妹妹。

¹²And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

¹²約阿施和他們在　神的殿裡一同躲藏了六年；那時亞他利雅統治猶大地。
