Ahaziah (king of Israel) (?-851? bc), in the Old Testament, a king of Israel. Ahaziah began his rule in the 17th year of the reign of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. Ahaziah was succeeded by his brother, Jehoram, in the 18th year of Jehoshaphat's reign. During the reign of Ahaziah, the town of Moab (in what is now Jordan) revolted and freed itself from yielding goods to Israel. Ahaziah tried to join an expedition of the fleet of Jehoshaphat, which proposed to trade with the region of Ophir, but Jehoshaphat refused Ahaziah permission. Ahaziah died by falling accidentally from an upper floor of his palace in Samaria, ancient city in Palestine.
