Verse 51
3. Ahaziah’s evil reign in Israel 1 Kings 22:51-2 Kings 1:18
A short summary of Ahaziah’s two-year term as king (853-852 B.C.) concludes 1 Kings. The events of his reign follow in 2 Kings 1. Ahaziah was the elder son of Ahab and Jezebel.
This unusual breaking place between 1 and 2 Kings was due to the need to divide this long book into two parts, each of which could fit on a standard scroll.
