2 Chronicles22:9

9 And he sought Ahaziah : and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him , because (said they) he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

In the City of Samaria: and so he fled first to Megiddo; and, not thinking himself safe there, he fled to Samaria, where he was taken and sent thence by Jehu's Order to Samaria, where he received the Sentence of Death. See more of this matter upon 2 King. 9. 27.
