   Don't Confuse With a king of Judah named Ahaziah who ruled for one year (841 B.C.).
   Home Samaria.
   Family Was the son of Ahab; brother of Jehoram, who succeeded him to the throne after he died without leaving an heir.
   Occupation King of Israel (853-852 B.C.).
   Best Known As The king who died as a result of a fall through his upper room lattice. He continued his father Ahab's wicked ways, even to the point of consulting a Philistine idol after his injuries. For this he was condemned by the prophet Elijah. He attempted to nullify this word by taking Elijah captive, but the prophesy was validated when Elijah called down fire from heaven to consume tow military units sent to arrest him.
