In Melachim II, 9:27 it says that that Achazyahu fled via Beis ha'Gan. Here it says that he hid in Shomron, and they brought him to Yehu, and killed him there!

1.

Refer to Melachim II, 9:27:1:1-4 and the note there.

2)

In Melachim II, 9:28 it says that that they buried Achazyahu in Yerushalayim. Here it says that they brought him to Yehu, and they killed him, and buried him [there], "for he is Ben Yehoshafat." Surely Yehu was not in Yerushalayim!

1.

Radak, Malbim: They killed him in Yizre'el, and they let Achazyahu's servants take him to Yerushalayim to bury him there.

3)

Why does it say "v'Ein l'Veis Achazyahu Latzor Ko'ach l'Mamlachah"?

1.

Malbim: There was no heir to inherit the kingship and rule. The children of Achazyahu's brothers, the descendants or Yehoram and Asalyah, Yehu killed them. I explained in Melachim that Yehudah never consented to Achazyahu's kingship; only Yoshvei Yerushalayim made him king. This is why his army did not save him from Yehu! Therefore Asalyah seized power for herself.
