The Reign of Ahaziah of Judah / Jehu Kills Ahaziah / Athaliah Usurps the Throne.
Ahaziah of Judah is evil, but he and his buddy Joram of Israel get murdered by Jehu of Jezreel. Ahaziah's mama seizes this moment to kill the rest of Ahaziah's fam (maybe in retribution for when Ahaziah murdered her other sons, his own brothers?), but Ahaziah's sister Jehosheba hides away Ahaziah's youngest son Joash.
This is just as confusing now as it was the first time we read it in one of those Bookses of Kingses.
