2 Chronicles 22:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 ¶ (A)Therefore when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and [a]destroyed all the king’s seed of the house of Judah.
11 But Jehoshabeath the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons, that should be slain, and put him and his nurse in the bed chamber: so Jehoshabeath the daughter of king Jehoram the wife of Jehoiada the Priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah) hid him from Athaliah: so she slew him not.
12 And he was with them hid in the [b]house of God six years, while Athaliah reigned over the [c]land.
