2 Chronicles 22:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ Jehu^[a] also searched for Ahaziah, had him apprehended while Ahaziah^[b] was hiding out in Samaria, and had Ahaziah^[c] brought to him. Jehu^[d] had Ahaziah^[e] executed and buried. It was said of Jehu,^[f] “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all of his heart.” As a result, there was no one left in the household of Ahaziah strong enough to reign in the kingdom.

Athaliah’s Revolt^(A)

¹⁰ As soon as Ahaziah’s mother Athaliah learned that her son had died, she set out to destroy the entire royal family of Judah. ¹¹ However, the king’s daughter Jehoshabeath took Ahaziah’s son Joash away from the king’s children who were about to be assassinated and hid him and his nurse in a bedroom. That’s how King Jehoram’s daughter Jehoshabeath, who was also the priest Jehoiada’s wife and Ahaziah’s sister, hid him from Athaliah. As a result, she was not able to kill him.
