Dictionary Summary:The son of Joram, or Jehoram, and sixth king of Judah. Called Jehoahaz ([2 Chr. 21:17](/2chr#2Chr.21.17); [25:23](/2chr#2Chr.25.23)), and Azariah ([2 Chr. 22:6](/2chr#2Chr.22.6)). Guided by his idolatrous mother Athaliah, his reign was disastrous ([2 Kings 8:24-29](/2kgs#2Kgs.8.24); [9:29](/2kgs#2Kgs.9.29)). He joined his uncle Jehoram, king of Israel, in an expedition against Hazael, king of Damascus; but was wounded at the pass of Gur when attempting to escape, and had strength only to reach Megiddo, where he died ([2 Kings 9:22-28](/2kgs#2Kgs.9.22)). He reigned only one year. 2
