King Ahaziah (Israel) (jan 1, 853 BC – jan 1, 852 BC)
Description:
Ahaziah continued in the ways of his father and mother, maintaining Baal worship. After being injured in a fall, instead of seeking God, he consulted Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron. This led to a direct confrontation with Elijah, who declared that he would die because of this act. Ahaziah ruled only briefly and left no significant positive legacy.
