Athaliah Reigns in Judah

2 Chronicles 22

10 But when Athaliah mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family of Judah. 11 But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash [infant] son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the king's sons who were to be slain, and she put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehosheba daughter of King Jehoram, sister of Ahaziah, and wife of Jehoiada the priest, hid [Joash] from [his grandmother] Athaliah, so that she did not slay him. 12 And Joash was with them hidden in the house of God six years, and Athaliah reigned over the land.
