Ahaziah of Judah (Hebrew: אֲחַזְיָהוּ, romanized: ʼĂḥazyāhū; Greek: Ὀχοζίας Okhozias; Latin: Ahazia) or Jehoahaz I (2 Chronicles 21:17; 25:23), was the sixth king of Judah, and the son of Jehoram and Athaliah, the daughter (or possibly sister) of king Ahab of Israel. He was also the first Judahite king to be descended from both the House of David and the House of Omri, through his mother and successor, Athaliah.
