AHAZIAH, the name of two kings in the Bible. (I) Ahaziah, 8th king of Israel, was the son and successor of Ahab, and reigned for less than two years. On his accession the Moabites refused any longer to pay tribute. Ahaziah lost his life through a fall from the lattice of an upper room in his palace (2 Kings i. 2—I 7 ) . (2) Ahaz iah, 6th king of Judah, son of Jehoram and Ahab's daughter Athal iah, reigned one year. He, together with Joram, king of Israel, was slain by Jehu, son of Nimshi. He is variously called Jehoahaz and Azariah (2 Kings viii. 2 5–ix. 28 ).
