Robert Alter on 2 Chronicles 22:6

  

And he turned back to heal in Jezreel from the wounds they had inflicted in him at Ramah, and Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah came down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he was failing. (Robert Alter, The Hebrew Bible, 3 vols. [New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2019], 3:961)

 

 

Ahaziah. The received text erroneously has “Azariah,” but some Hebrew manuscripts and three ancient versions read “Ahaziah.” (Robert Alter, The Hebrew Bible, 3 vols. [New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2019], 3:961)
