Athaliah Reigns as Queen of Judah(A)
11 As soon as Ahaziah’s mother Athaliah learned that her son had died, she seized the throne[a] and executed the entire royal bloodline.[b] 2 But King Joram’s daughter Jehosheba, who was Ahaziah’s sister, rescued[c] Ahaziah’s son Joash from the group of the king’s sons who were being executed and hid him and his nurse in her bedroom, concealing him from Athaliah so he was not put to death.

New International Version
Athaliah and Joash(A)
11 When Athaliah(B) the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family. 2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram[a] and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash(C) son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes, who were about to be murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah; so he was not killed.(D)
