2 Kings 11:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

11 When Athaliah the mother of [King] Ahaziah [of Judah] saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal descendants.

² But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram, [half] sister of Ahaziah, stole Joash son of Ahaziah from among the king’s sons, who were to be slain, even him and his nurse, and hid them from Athaliah in an inner storeroom for beds; so he was not slain.

³ Joash was with his nurse hidden in the house of the Lord for six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.
