22–BOB
Yahudo shohi Oxoziyo
1 Arablar bosqinchilik safari davomida Yohuramning kenja oʻgʻli Oxoziyodan boshqa hamma oʻgʻillarini qatl qilgan edilar. Shuning uchun Quddus aholisi Oxoziyoni oʻzlariga shoh qilishdi. 2 Oxoziyo taxtga oʻtirganda, yigirma ikki yoshda edi. U Quddusda bir yil shohlik qildi. Onasining ismi Otaliyo boʻlib, Isroil shohi Omrining nevarasi edi. 3 Oxoziyo ham Axab xonadoni yoʻlidan yurdi, chunki onasi unga qabih ishlar qilishni maslahat berardi. 4 Oxoziyo Axab nasliga oʻxshab, Egamiz oldida qabihliklar qildi. Otasi Yohuramning vafotidan keyin, shoh Axab xonadonining boshqa aʼzolari Oxoziyoning maslahatchilari boʻlib, uni halokatga boshladilar. 5 Oxoziyo ularning maslahatiga kirib, Isroil shohi Axab oʻgʻli Yoram bilan birga Giladdagi Ramoʻtga borib, Oram shohi Xazayilga qarshi urush ochdi. Shoh Yoram shu urushda yarador boʻldi. 6 U yarasini davolatish uchun Yizril shahriga qaytib keldi. Yahudo shohi Oxoziyo esa yaralangan Yoramni koʻrgani Yizrilga bordi.
7 Xudo Oxoziyoning bu tashrifini uning halokati uchun ishlatdi. Oxoziyo Yoramnikiga yetib borgach, Yoram bilan birgalikda Nimshining nevarasi Yohuni kutib olgani chiqdi. Yohuni Egamiz Axab xonadonini qatl qilish uchun tanlagan edi. 8 Yohu Axab xonadoni ustidan chiqarilgan hukmni ijro etayotgan paytda, Oxoziyo bilan birga kelgan Yahudo aʼyonlariga va Oxoziyoning jiyanlariga duch keldi. Ularning hammasini bitta qoldirmay qirib yubordi. 9 Soʻng Oxoziyoni qidira boshladi. Yohuning odamlari Samariyada yashirinib yurgan Oxoziyoni qoʻlga oldilar. Uni Yohuning oldiga olib kelib oʻldirdilar. Ammo keyin dafn qildilar, chunki ular: “Eha, bu Egamizga chin yurakdan intilgan Yohushafatning nevarasi–ku!” deb aytgan edilar. Oxoziyo xonadonida shohlik qiladigan hech bir kimsa qolmadi.
Yahudo malikasi Otaliyo taxtga oʻtiradi
10 Otaliyo oʻz oʻgʻli shoh Oxoziyoning oʻldirilganini eshitgach, Yahudoda Oxoziyoning jamiki urugʻini qirib tashlashga kirishdi. 11 Shohning hamma oʻgʻillarini oʻldirish rejalashtirilgan edi. Shoh Yohuramning Yohusheva degan qizi bor edi. Yohusheva Oxoziyoning oʻgay singlisi boʻlib, ruhoniy Yohayidoga turmushga chiqqan edi. Yohusheva Oxoziyoning oʻgʻli Yoʻshni shohning oʻgʻillari orasidan bildirmasdan olib qochdi. Otaliyo bolani oʻldirmasligi uchun, uni enagasi bilan birga Egamizning uyidagi yotoqxonaga yashirdi. 12 Otaliyo yurtni boshqargan paytda, bola olti yil davomida Xudoning uyida ular bilan birga yashirinib yurdi.
1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned. 2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri. 3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly. 4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction.
5 ¶ He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians smote Joram. 6 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick. 7 And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab. 8 And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them. 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.
10 ¶ But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah. 11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not. 12 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
