Ahaziah, ['chzyhw, h274,] and Jehoahaz, [yhw'chz h3059,] are essentially the same both in letters and sense, the word [yhw,] {yeho,} or [yh, h3050,] {yah,} being merely transposed: but Azariah, [`zryhw, h5838,] seems to have been a distinct name by which he was known. ver. 1,7;

he sought Ahaziah. The account in the parallel passage is somewhat different. "The current of the story at large is this," says Dr. Lightfoot: "Jehu slayeth Joram in the field of Jezreel, as Ahaziah and Joram were together: Ahaziah seeing this, flies, and gets into Samaria, and hides himself there. Jehu marches to Jezreel, and makes Jezebel dogs' meat: from thence sends to Samaria for the heads of Ahab's children and posterity; which are brought him by night, and shewed to the people in the morning. Then he marches to Samaria, and, by the way, slayeth forty-two of Ahab's kinsmen, and findeth Jehonadab, the father of the Rechabites. Coming into Samaria, he maketh search for Ahaziah: they find him hid, bring him to Jehu, and he commands to carry him towards Gur, by Ibleam, and there to slay him. They do so: smite him in his chariot, and his charioteer driveth away to Megiddo before he dies." "2; Ki 9:27, at Megiddo, in the kingdom of Samaria."
