"Ahaziah"

Ahaziah “God Holds, Possesses” (843 BCE)
Trying to aid Israel’s war with Aram-Damascus, listened to evil counsel of his wicked mother, Athaliah. Ahaziah was caught in Jehu’s coup and was killed as part of Jehu’s program to wipe out Jezebel’s descendents (2 Kings 8; 11:1-2; 12:18; 2 Chronicles 22).
