1 Kings 22:53: "They adopted the habits of the nations that the Lord had expelled before them, and did what the Lord reproves." This verse relates to the fact that Ahaziah follows the customs and practices of the pagan peoples around him rather than following God's laws and commandments.

2 Chronicles 28:23: "He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus who had defeated him; for he thought, 'Since the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will also help them to offer them sacrifices.'
