— 2 Kings 11:1 —
2And Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of her brother, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were put to death, secreting him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Athaliah, and he was not slain.
3And he remained with her hidden in the house of the Lord six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
