And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

Und er suchte Ahasja, und sie fingen ihn, da er sich versteckt hatte zu Samaria. Und er ward zu Jehu gebracht; der tötete ihn, und man begrub ihn. Denn sie sprachen: Er ist Josaphats Sohn, der nach dem HERRN trachtete von ganzem Herzen. Und es niemand mehr aus dem Hause Ahasja, der tüchtig war zum Königreich.
Y buscando a Ochôzías, el cual se había escondido en Samaria, tomáronlo, y trajéronlo a Jehú, y le mataron; y diéronle sepultura, porque dijeron: Es hijo de Josaphat, el cual buscó a Jehová de todo su corazón. Y la casa de Ochôzías no tenía fuerzas para poder retener el reino.
Il chercha Achazia, et on le saisit dans Samarie, où il s'était caché. On l'amena auprès de Jéhu, et on le fit mourir. Puis ils l'enterrèrent, car ils disaient: C'est le fils de Josaphat, qui cherchait l'Eternel de tout son coeur. Et il ne resta personne de la maison d'Achazia qui fût en état de régner.
E cercò Achazia, ed egli fu preso, essendo nascosto in Samaria, e fu menato a Iehu, ed ucciso; e poi fu seppellito; perciocchè fu detto: Egli è il figliuolo di Giosafat, il quale ricercò il Signore con tutto il suo cuore. E non vi fu alcuno della casa di Achazia che avesse il potere di farsi re
Depois buscou a Acazias (porque se tinha escondido em Samaria), e o alcançaram, e o trouxeram a Jeú, e o mataram, e o sepultaram; porque disseram: Filho é de Jeosafá, que buscou ao SENHOR com todo o seu coração. E já não tinha a casa de Acazias ninguém que tivesse força para o reino.
亞哈謝 躲在 撒瑪利亞 , 耶戶 尋找他,眾人把他拿住,送到 耶戶 那裏,就殺了他。他們把他埋葬,因他們說,他是那盡心尋求耶和華之 約沙法 的兒子。這樣, 亞哈謝 的家無力保住國權。
