2 Kings 11:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 But Jehosheba the daughter of king Joram, and sister to Ahaziah [a]took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the King’s sons that should be slain, both him and his nurse, keeping them in [b]the bedchamber, and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3 And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years, and Athaliah did reign over the land.
4 ¶ (A)And the seventh year [c]Jehoiada sent and took the captains over hundreds, with other captains and them of the guard, and caused them to come unto him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the Lord, and showed them the King’s son.
