4 Kings 9:27
But Ochozias king of Juda seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there.

- Ochozias autem rex Juda videns hoc, fugit per viam domus horti : persecutusque est eum Jehu, et ait : Etiam hunc percutite in curru suo. Et percusserunt eum in ascensu Gaver, qui est juxta Jeblaam : qui fugit in Mageddo, et mortuus est ibi.

- καὶ Ὀχοζείας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα εἶδεν, καὶ ἔφυγεν ὁδὸν Βαιθάν· καὶ ἐδίωξεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ Εἰοὺ καὶ εἶπεν Καί γε αὐτόν· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τῷ ἅρματι ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν Γαί, ἥ ἐστιν Ἐκβλαάμ· καὶ ἔφυγεν εἰς Μαγεδαών, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ.

Haydock's commentary
House. Septuagint retain "Baithgan," the original term, as if it were the name of that road. (Menochius)
Ochozias wanted to reach the palace by that garden, which was the source of the miseries of Achab's family.
There. Being brought back from Samaria, 2 Paralipomenon xxii. 9., (Calmet) or lurking in that kingdom, (Menochius) and slain by Jehu, as being the grandson of Jezabel. Great troubles took place in Juda, in consequence of his death. (Calmet)
