Queen Athaliah and King Joash
11 Ahaziah's mother, Athaliah, heard the news that her son was dead. So she started to kill all the royal family. 2 Jehosheba was the daughter of King Jehoram of Judah and the sister of Ahaziah. When Athaliah's servants had come to murder the royal sons, Jehosheba took Ahaziah's son Joash away and she hid him. She put him in a bedroom in the temple to hide him from Athaliah. So Joash stayed alive.
