2 Chronicles 22:10-12
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Thus Jehoshabeath, daughter of King Jehoram and wife of the priest Jehoiada—because she was a sister of Ahaziah—hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not kill him; 12 he remained with them for six years, hidden in the house of God, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
