II Chronicles 22:11
The Scripture
(11) But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Ahaziah became king of Judah at his mother Athaliah's wicked counsel and walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, joining Joram of Israel in battle against Hazael of Syria. When Jehu carried out the LORD's judgment against the house of Ahab, he also killed Ahaziah, after which Athaliah seized the throne and destroyed all the royal seed of Judah except the infant Joash, who was hidden away.
