Jehoahaz:
Jehovah his sustainer, or he whom Jehovah holdeth. (1.) The youngest son of Jehoram, king of Judah (2Ch 21:17; 22:1,6,8,9); usually Ahaziah (q.v.).
(2.) The son and successor of Jehu, king of Israel (2Ki 10:35). He reigned seventeen years, and followed the evil ways of the house of Jeroboam. The Syrians, under Hazael and Benhadad, prevailed over him, but were at length driven out of the land by his son Jehoash (13:1-9,25).
(3.) Josiah's third son, usually called Shallum (1Ch 3:15). He succeeded his father on the throne, and reigned over Judah for three months (2Ki 23:31,34). He fell into the idolatrous ways of his predecessors (23:32), was deposed by Pharaoh-Necho from the throne, and carried away prisoner into Egypt, where he died in captivity (23:33,34; Jer 22:10-12; 2Ch 36:1-4).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
