2 Kings 11:1-3

Tree of Life Version

Wicked Queen Athaliah Overthrown

11 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring. ² But Jehosheba, daughter of King Joram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being put to death. She put him and his nurse in the bedroom, so he was hidden from Athaliah, so that he was not killed. ³ He remained with her, hidden in the House of Adonai for six years, while Athaliah was reigning over the country.
