2 Chronicles 21:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel as the house of Ahab had done, since the daughter of Ahab[a] was his wife; and he did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. 7 Even so, the Lord was unwilling to destroy the house of David because of the covenant he had made with David and because of his promise to leave him and his sons a holding for all time.(A)
8 (B)During his time Edom revolted against the rule of Judah and installed its own king.

- 21:6 The daughter of Ahab: her name was Athaliah. In 22:2 (and its source, 2 Kgs 8:26) she is called the daughter of Ahab’s father Omri, but this should probably be understood in the sense of granddaughter.
