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
open_in_newSon 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.
