2 Kings 11:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, (A)took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king’s sons who were being put to death, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So they hid him from Athaliah, and he was not put to death. 3 So he was hidden away with her in the house of Yahweh six years, while Athaliah was reigning over the land.
4 (B)Now in the seventh year Jehoiada sent for and took the commanders of hundreds of (C)the Carites and of the [a]guard, and brought them to him in the house of Yahweh. Then he cut a covenant with them and had them swear in the house of Yahweh, and showed them the king’s son.
