Tosefta Sotah

[It is stated]: "Jehoram was thirty-two years old in [the beginning of] his reign, and for eight years he was king in Jerusalem" (2 Chr. 21:5). And regarding Ahaziah his son, what does it say, but (2 Chr. 22:2), "Ahaziah was forty-two years old in [the beginning of] his reign, and for one year he was king in Jerusalem." And in another place it says (2 Kings 8:26), "Ahaziah was twenty-two years old in [the beginning of] his reign." Said Rabbi Yosei: And how is it possible for a son to be two years (שתי שנים, see MS Vienna) older than his father? Rather, as soon as Asa king of Judah married the daughter of Omri king of Israel to Jehoshaphat his son, it was decreed on the kingship of [the House of] David, that it would terminated with the House of Ahab, as it is said (2 Chr. 22:7): "And God brought about the downfall of Ahaziah [for visiting Joram, and during his visit, he went out with Jehoram to Jehu son of Nimsi, who God had anointed to cut off the House of Ahab.]" And the two of them fell that same day -- the one with the other.
