Ahaziah, אחזיהו [Strong's H0274], and Jehoahaz, יהואחז [Strong's H3059], are essentially the same both in letters and sense, the word יהו, yeho, or יה, [Strong's H3050], yah, being merely transposed, but Azariah, עזריהו, [Strong's H5838], seems to have been a distinct name by which he was known. "And the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalemª made²°¹ Ahaziahª his youngestª sonª kingª° in his stead:¹ for¹ the band of menª that cameª° with the Arabiansª to the campª had slainª° all¹ the eldest.ª So Ahaziahª the sonª of Jehoramª kingª of Judahª reigned.ª°" {2Ch 22:1} + "And the destructionª of Ahaziahª was¹ of Godª¹ by comingª° to¹ Joram:ª for when he was come,ª° he went outª° with¹ Jehoramª against¹ Jehuª the sonª of Nimshi,ª whom¹ the LORDª had anointedª° to cut offª°¹ the houseª of Ahab.ª" {2Ch 22:7}, Ahaziah, "And they came upª° into Judah,ª and brake²° into¹ it, and carried awayª°¹ all¹ the substanceª that was foundª° in the king'sª house,ª and his sonsª also,¹ and his wives;ª so that there was never¹ a sonª leftª° him, save¹¹ Jehoahaz,ª the youngestª of his sons.ª" {2Ch 21:17}, Jehoahaz
