2 Kings 11:1-3
Athaliah Usurps the Throne
1 When Athaliah,(A) Ahaziah’s mother,(B) saw that her son was dead,(C) she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs.
2 Jehosheba,(D) who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s(E) sister, secretly rescued Joash son of Ahaziah from the king’s sons who were being killed and put him and the one who nursed him in a bedroom. So he was hidden from Athaliah and was not killed.
3 Joash was in hiding with Jehosheba in the Lord’s temple six years while Athaliah ruled over the land.
