猶大王亞哈謝
1耶路撒冷的居民擁立約蘭的小兒子亞哈謝22·1 「亞哈謝」即21·17提到的「亞哈斯」。為王。因為約蘭的其他兒子都被那些與阿拉伯人同來攻營的匪徒殺了，於是猶大王約蘭的兒子亞哈謝做了王。 2亞哈謝二十二歲22·2 參考七十士譯本、敘利亞譯本和列王紀下8·26。希伯來文是「四十二歲」。登基，在耶路撒冷執政一年。他母親叫亞她利雅，是暗利的孫女。 3他重蹈亞哈家的覆轍，因為他的母親唆使他作惡。 4他像亞哈家一樣做耶和華視為惡的事，因為他父親死後，亞哈家便唆使他作惡，使他走向滅亡。 5他照亞哈家的主意，與以色列王亞哈的兒子約蘭一起去基列的拉末征討亞蘭王哈薛。亞蘭人擊傷約蘭， 6約蘭便回到耶斯列療傷。猶大王亞哈謝22·6 「亞哈謝」希伯來文是「亞撒利雅」。前去探望他。
7亞哈謝去見約蘭，遇害身亡，這事出於上帝。原來他到那裡後便與約蘭去攻擊寧示的孫子耶戶。耶戶是耶和華膏立去毀滅亞哈家的人。 8耶戶討伐亞哈家的時候，遇見猶大眾首領和亞哈謝的眾侄兒，他們都是服侍亞哈謝的，耶戶就把他們全部殺掉。 9然後耶戶搜捕亞哈謝，民眾找到躲在撒瑪利亞的亞哈謝，把他押到耶戶那裡殺了。他們念他是全心尋求耶和華的約沙法的孫子，就把他埋葬了。這樣，亞哈謝家無人能保住王位。
亞她利雅篡權
10亞哈謝的母親亞她利雅見她兒子死了，便決定除掉猶大王室的後裔。 11但約蘭王的女兒、亞哈謝的妹妹約示芭把亞哈謝的兒子約阿施從將要被殺的王子中偷出來，將他和他的乳母藏在一間臥室裡躲避亞她利雅的殺害。約示芭是耶何耶大祭司的妻子。 12約阿施和他們在上帝的殿裡藏了六年。那時亞她利雅篡位當政。
