Know what it says right there
In Second Chron, twenty-two, two?
Says Ahaziah was king at twenty-two! (v.2)
O my! What the people gonna do?
Gotta be ruled by another young fool?
His momma\u00a0 was a lady called Ataliah;
Had a grandpa by the name o’ Omri.
He walked like the wicked Ahab, (3)
Listenin’ to the counsel of his momma,
Bringin’ ’round all kinds o’ drama.
Picked a fight with King Hazael (5)
By joinin’ with a guy named Jehoram
But his destruction\u00a0 was planned by God! (7)
He joined with Jehoram against Jehu ,
But by God’s plan he was through!
On Ahab Jehu executed judgment (8)
And the princes of Judah he took down;
Yeah, the whole crew he up and slew!
But to speak for a moment of Athaliah,
Got to turn to the book of those kings.
That woman seized control of every thing!
All descendants put down except Joash,
A baby of just a year old . . .
Snuck him way from his sibs,
Hidden six years; his life was glib.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
