In [2 Kings 8:26](../../../kjv/2-kings/8/26) Ahaziah's actual age (twenty-two years) is given when he began to reign (790) during the two years of his father's disease. His father, Jehoram, was thirty-two when he began to reign with Jehoshaphat, two years before the latter's death ([2 Kings 8:16](../../../kjv/2-kings/8/16) ). This was in 796. Jehoram therefore was born in 828. Ahaziah, his son, being twenty-two when he began his co-regency, was therefore born in 812; his father being sixteen years old. See App-50 . pp 2Ch 57:58 . **daughter of Omri.** Daughter put by Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of Genus) for granddaughter.
