2 Kings 11:3-5

The Voice

³ Joash and his nurse lived secretly in the Eternal’s temple for the six years Athaliah ruled Judah.

⁴ During the seventh year, Jehoiada summoned the commanders of the Carites’ divisions and of the soldiers; and he gave them instructions to meet him in the Eternal’s house. There in the temple, Jehoiada entered into a covenant with them and made them swear to honor it. Then he revealed Ahaziah’s son, Joash, to them.
