Forty [0705] and two [08147] years [08141] old [01121] was Ahaziah [0274] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] one [0259] year [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. His mother's [0517] name [08034] also was Athaliah [06271] the daughter [01323] of Omri [06018].
But when Athaliah [06271] the mother [0517] of Ahaziah [0274] saw [07200] that her son [01121] was dead [04191], she arose [06965] and destroyed [01696] all the seed [02233] royal [04467] of the house [01004] of Judah [03063].
But Jehoshabeath [03090], the daughter [01323] of the king [04428], took [03947] Joash [03101] the son [01121] of Ahaziah [0274], and stole [01589] him from among [08432] the king's [04428] sons [01121] that were slain [04191], and put [05414] him and his nurse [03243] in a bedchamber [04296] [02315]. So Jehoshabeath [03090], the daughter [01323] of king [04428] Jehoram [03088], the wife [0802] of Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548], (for she was the sister [0269] of Ahaziah [0274],) hid [05641] him from [06440] Athaliah [06271], so that she slew [04191] him not.Jehoshabeath: also called, Jehosheba
And he was with them hid [02244] in the house [01004] of God [0430] six [08337] years [08141]: and Athaliah [06271] reigned [04427] over the land [0776].
Now when Athaliah [06271] heard [08085] the noise [06963] of the people [05971] running [07323] and praising [01984] the king [04428], she came [0935] to the people [05971] into the house [01004] of the Lord [03068]:
And she looked [07200], and, behold, the king [04428] stood [05975] at his pillar [05982] at the entering in [03996], and the princes [08269] and the trumpets [02689] by the king [04428]: and all the people [05971] of the land [0776] rejoiced [08056], and sounded [08628] with trumpets [02689], also the singers [07891] with instruments [03627] of musick [07892], and such as taught [03045] to sing praise [01984]. Then Athaliah [06271] rent [07167] her clothes [0899], and said [0559], Treason [07195], Treason [07195].Treason: Heb. Conspiracy
And all the people [05971] of the land [0776] rejoiced [08055]: and the city [05892] was quiet [08252], after that they had slain [04191] Athaliah [06271] with the sword [02719].
For the sons [01121] of Athaliah [06271], that wicked [04849] woman, had broken up [06555] the house [01004] of God [0430]; and also all the dedicated things [06944] of the house [01004] of the Lord [03068] did they bestow [06213] upon Baalim [01168].
