מלכים א, פרק כ״ב, פסוק מ׳

The death of a king brings an immediate shift in a nation's leadership. With the passing of Ahab, control of the kingdom transfers directly to his son, Ahaziah. This succession is a notable historical milestone, as his rise to power officially establishes the third generation of the Omri dynasty on the throne [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
