Hidden in the House.

KIngs 11:
1And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her
son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. 2But Jehosheba, the daughter of
king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from
among the king’s sons which were slain; and they hid him, even
him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not
slain. 3And he was with her
hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.
4And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the
rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him
into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of
them in the house of the LORD, and shewed them the king’s son. 5And
he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third
part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of
the king’s house; 6And a third part shall be at the gate of
Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch
of the house, that it be not broken down.
7And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even
they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king. 8And ye
shall compass the king round about, every man with his
weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain:
and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in. 9And
the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada
the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on
the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada
the priest. 10And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give
king David’s spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD. 11And
the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king,
from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along
by the altar and the temple. 12And
he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him
the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their
hands, and said, God save the king.
13And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and
of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD. 14And
when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was,
and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land
rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried,
Treason, Treason. 15But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains
of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth
without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the
priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD. 16And
they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came
into the king’s house: and there was she slain.

Joash the son of Ahaziah
Grandson of Athaliah
After his father’s sister Jehoshabeath, the wife of
Jehoiada the high priest, had stolen him from among the king’s sons, he was
hidden for six years in the chambers of the temple. In the seventh year of his
age and of his concealment, a successful revolution, conducted by Jehoiada,
placed him on the throne of his ancestors, and freed the country from the
tyranny and idolatries of Athaliah
But Jehosheba, the daughter
of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him
from among the king’s sons which were slain; and they hid him, even
him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not
slain. 3And he was with her
hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.
Athaliah married Jehoram
(or Joram), son of Jehoshaphat, king of
Athaliah apparently
inherited Jezebel’s ruthlessness. She was a tyrant whose every whim had to be
obeyed. As her mother had done in
Joash was hidden in the
house of the Lord for six years (2 Kin. 11:3), while Athaliah reigned over the
land (841–835 b.c.). In the
seventh year, the high priest Jehoiada declared Joash the lawful king of
Athaliah reaped what she
sowed. She gained the throne through murder and lost her life in the same way.
She also failed to thwart God’s promise, because she did not destroy the
Davidic line, through which the Messiah was to be born.
