Ahaziah

Son of Ahab and king of Israel who fell through a lattice window, consulted the pagan god Baal-zebub of Ekron instead of the Lord, and died under God's judgment delivered by the prophet Elijah

About

Son of the wicked King Ahab, Ahaziah ruled Israel briefly and followed his father's idolatrous ways. After injuring himself in a fall, he sent messengers to consult the pagan god Baal-zebub rather than the God of Israel — a choice that brought a fatal judgment through the prophet Elijah. His story appears in 1 Kings 22 and 2 Kings 1.
