Why does 2 Kings 8:26 say Ahaziah was 22, and 2 Chronicles 22:2 say he was 42?
Are these passages in contradiction with each other?
2 Kings 8:26
AMP - 26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.
