* Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead , she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs of the house of Judah . * But Jehoshabeath , the daughter of the king , took Joash the son of Ahaziah , and stole him away from among the king 's sons who were being murdered , and put him and his nurse in a bedroom . 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 that she did not kill him . * And he was hidden with them in the house of God for six years , while Athaliah reigned over the land .
