Queen Athaliah rules Judah
11 When Athaliah, Ahaziah’s mother, learned of her son’s death, she immediately destroyed the entire royal family. 2 But Jehosheba, King Jehoram’s[a] daughter and Ahaziah’s sister, secretly took Ahaziah’s son Jehoash[b] from the rest of the royal children who were about to be murdered and hid[c] him in a bedroom along with his nurse. In this way Jehoash was hidden from Athaliah and wasn’t murdered.
