# Ahaziah of Israel

> The eighth king of the northern Kingdom of Israel, remembered less for what he did than for whose son he was: Ahab and Jezebel's. His reign lasted roughly a year in the mid-ninth century BC, and the Biblical account offers almost nothing but condemnation.

*King of the Kingdom of Israel; son of Ahab and Jezebel*

## Bio

Ahaziah inherited the throne of the northern Kingdom of Israel from his father Ahab and ruled from Samaria around 850 BC, though scholars differ on the exact dates — William F. Albright places his reign at 850–849 BC, while E. R. Thiele suggests 853–852 BC. The author of the Books of Kings condemned him for following the religious practices of both his father and his mother Jezebel, accusing him of leading Israel into sin "in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat." The phrase "in the way of his mother" appears nowhere else in the Hebrew Bible — a detail that Biblical commentator Albert Barnes notes as evidence of the writer's particular feeling about Jezebel's influence. His brief reign left little mark beyond that verdict.
