The Scripture

(9) And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

When Jehu carried out the LORD's judgment against the house of Ahab, he also killed Ahaziah, after which Athaliah seized the throne and destroyed all the royal seed of Judah except the infant Joash, who was hidden away.
