:''This entry is not about King Ahaziah of Israel.'' Ahaziah of Judah (; (ギリシア語:Οχοζιας) Okhozias; (ラテン語:Ahazia))〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2 Kings 9:29 Multilingual: In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah. )〕 or Jehoahaz (; ), was a king of Judah, and the son of Jehoram and Athaliah, the daughter (or possibly sister) of king Ahab of Israel. According to , Ahaziah was 22 years old when he became king of Judah and reigned for one year. However, gives his age as 42 years when his reign began. Most scholars regard the 42 years in 2 Chronicles 22:2 as a copyist's error for an original 22 years. Bible teacher Harold Camping, however, suggests that the 42 years actual refers to the period of time since the beginning of the kingly dynasty of Omri.〔http://www.slideshare.net/feedsheep1600/kings-27599665〕 The age of 22 is also found in some Greek and Syrian versions of 2 Chronicles 22:2. William F. Albright has dated his reign to 842 BC, while E. R. Thiele offers the date 841/840 BC.〔Edwin R. Thiele, ''The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings'' (3rd ed.; Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan/Kregel, 1983) 101, 217.〕 As explained in the Rehoboam article, Thiele's chronology for the first kings of Judah contained an internal inconsistency that placed Ahaziah's reign one year after his mother Athaliah usurped the throne. Later scholars corrected this by dating these kings one year earlier,〔Leslie McFall, "The Chronology of the Hebrew Kings Revised," 2008, available on his (Web site ).〕 so that Ahaziah's dates are taken as one year earlier than Thiele's in the present article. ==Reign== Ahaziah was the youngest son of Jehoram of Judah. According to 2 Chronicles 21:16-17, his older brothers had been carried off in a Philistine and Arab raid. Under the influence of his mother Athaliah, Ahaziah introduced forms of worship that offended the Yahwistic party. Members of her family became his advisors and encouraged him to join his uncle Jehoram, king of Israel, in an expedition against Hazael, king of the Arameans. Jehoram was wounded in the battle, and went to recuperate at Jezreel. Ahaziah also left the field of conflict in Gilead, and, after a visit to Jerusalem, came to Jezreel for a conference with Jehoram, and was caught up in the revolt by Jehu.〔("Ahaziah", ''Jewish Encyclopedia'' )〕 According to the account given in the Second Book of Kings, Ahaziah and Jehoram both went out to meet the rebellious general, with Jehoram learning too late of Jehu's murderous intentions. Ahaziah watched as his uncle was shot by Jehu, who was armed with a bow. Ahaziah fled for his life, but was wounded at the pass of Gur in Ibleam and had strength only to reach Megiddo, where he died (). 2 Chronicles, however, gives a somewhat different account of Ahaziah's death, which has him hiding in Samaria after Jehu's ''coup'', only to be found and killed by Jehu's henchmen on their king's orders. () Ahaziah reigned only one year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ahaziah of Judah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
