2 Chronicles 22:10-12

Expanded Bible

Athaliah and Joash^(A)

¹⁰ When Ahaziah’s mother, Athaliah, saw that her son was dead, she ·killed [destroyed] all the royal ·family [line] of the house of Judah. ¹¹ But Jehosheba, King Jehoram’s daughter, took Joash, Ahaziah’s son. She stole him from among the other sons of the king who were going to be ·murdered [executed] and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. So Jehosheba, who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s sister and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, hid Joash so Athaliah could not ·kill [execute] him. ¹² He hid with them in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of God for six years. During that time Athaliah ·ruled [reigned over] the land.
