2 Chronicles 22:8-12

[8] And it came to pass, that, when Jehu  was executing judgment  upon the house  of Ahab,  and found  the princes  of Judah,  and the sons  of the brethren  of Ahaziah,  that ministered  to Ahaziah,  he slew  [9] And he sought  Ahaziah:  and they caught  him, (for he was hid  in Samaria,)  and brought  him to Jehu:  and when they had slain  him, they buried  him: Because, said  they, he is the son  of Jehoshaphat,  who sought  the LORD  with all his heart.  So the house  of Ahaziah  had no power  to keep  still the kingdom.  [10] But when Athaliah  the mother  of Ahaziah  saw  that her son  was dead,  she arose  and destroyed  all the seed  royal  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 were slain,  and put  him and his nurse  in a bedchamber.  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 slew  [12] And he was with them hid  in the house  of God  six  years:  and Athaliah  reigned  over the land.
