Ahab's successors in Israel were his sons Ahaziah (parts of two years) and Jehoram (roughly seven according to 2 Chronicles, though the Deuteronomist gives him twelve years). In Judah, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat reigned for at least seven years and Jehoram's son Ahaziah for less than a year. This means that Ahaziah and Jehoram ruled Israel for about eight years, and also that Jehoram and Ahaziah ruled Judah during approximately the same eight years.
The duplication of the names, even if in reverse order, is startling and has led to speculation that Judah was really under Israelite rule for this period, which the southern scribes were unwilling to acknowledge. We will probably never know for certain, but it is possible that Ahaziah, son of Ahab, really was king of both Israel and a defeated Judah (followed by his brother Jehoram).
No, Ahaziah was king of Israel, not Judah. He ruled the northern kingdom of Israel after the death of his father Ahab.
The ruler of the divided kingdom were King Saul, King David, and King Solomon in Israel, and King Rehoboam in Judah.
The split between Israel and Judah occurred around 930 BCE after the death of King Solomon, following a succession crisis. Israel fell to the Assyrians in 722 BCE and Judah later to the Babylonians in 586 BCE.
Solomon was from the tribe of Judah, which was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was the son of King David, who was also from the tribe of Judah.
Judah sought an alliance with Assyria against Israel, which was threatening to invade Jerusalem and depose the king. Assyria conquered Israel in 722 BCE and made the former kingdom into the province of Samaria. Assyria then turned its attention to Judah, with the intention of extending its empire southwards, but found the fortified city of Jerusalem too hard to defeat.
Israel was conquered by the Babylonian Empire in 587 BCE, leading to the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem and the exile of many Israelites. At that time, King Zedekiah was the ruler of the Kingdom of Judah, the southern part of the Israelite kingdom.
Ahaziah, son of Ahab and king of Israel, lived from 852BC.Ahaziah, king of Judah, reigned and died in 841BC.

There are three men by the name of Jehoahaz in the Bible. 1) The son and successor of Jehu, the twelfth king of Israel. 2) The third son of Josiah. After Josiah was slain he became king in Judah in preference to his elder brother, Jehoiakim. 3) The name given to the youngest son of Jehoram, king of Judah; usually called Ahaziah. He was the sixth king of Judah.
Some believe that the passage in 2 Chronicles is actually speaking of the 'true' ruler's age - Athaliah, his mother being 42 years old. An interesting argument is presented in the Related Links for your reading pleasure.
