2 Chronicles 22:11-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ But Jehosheba took Ahaziah’s son Joash and hid him. Jehosheba put Joash and his nurse in the inside bedroom. Jehosheba was King Jehoram’s daughter. She was also Jehoiada’s wife. Jehoiada was a priest, and Jehosheba was Ahaziah’s sister. Athaliah did not kill Joash, because Jehosheba hid him. ¹² Joash was hidden with the priests in God’s Temple for six years. During that time Athaliah ruled over the land as queen.
