But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 9 of 2 Kings. Jehu arrives at Jezreel and encounters Joram and Ahaziah. Joram asks whether there is peace, but Jehu connects the absence of peace with Jezebel’s idolatries. Joram attempts to escape and is mortally wounded. Ahaziah also dies after fleeing. The deaths fulfill the general direction of the judgment pronounced against Ahab’s house. The narrative links the dynasty’s politics, violence, and idolatry: peace cannot be defined simply as the absence of war when the power structure remains committed to practices the narrator considers rebellion against God.

Da das Ahasja, der König Juda's, sah, floh er des Weges zum Hause des Gartens. Jehu aber jagte ihm nach und hieß ihn auch schlagen in dem Wagen auf der Höhe Gur, die bei Jibleam liegt. Und er floh gen Megiddo und starb daselbst.
Y viendo esto Ochôzías rey de Judá, huyó por el camino de la casa del huerto. Y siguiolo Jehú, diciendo: Herid también a éste en el carro. Y le hirieron a la subida de Gur, junto a Ibleam. Y él huyó a Megiddo, y murió allí.
Al ver esto, Ocozías, rey de Judá, huyó por el camino de Bet-hagán. Jehú lo persiguió y dijo: «¡Hiéranlo también a él en su carro, en la subida de Gur, junto a Ibleam!». Ocozías huyó a Meguido y murió allí.
Achazia, roi de Juda, ayant vu cela, s'enfuit par le chemin de la maison du jardin. Jéhu le poursuivit, et dit: Lui aussi, frappez-le sur le char! Et on le frappa à la montée de Gur, près de Jibleam. Il se réfugia à Meguiddo, et il y mourut.
Or Achazia, re di Giuda, vedute queste cose, fuggì verso la casa dell’orto. Ma Iehu lo seguitò, e disse: Percotete ancora lui sopra il carro. Ed essi lo percossero alla salita di Gur, ch’è presso d’Ibleam; poi egli fuggì in Meghiddo, e morì quivi.
O que vendo Acazias, rei de Judá, fugiu pelo caminho da casa do jardim; porém Jeú o perseguiu dizendo: Feri também a este; e o feriram no carro à subida de Gur, que está junto a Ibleão. E fugiu a Megido, e morreu ali.
