2 Chronicles 22:10–12, “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. 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 him not. And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.”
Athaliah decided that it was time for her to take control of the kingdom of Judah and bring an end to the Davidic dynasty. This was a Satanic plot to destroy the Lord’s promise to David. She quickly killed all of Jehoram’s children and took charge of Judah herself. However, one of Ahaziah’s sisters managed to hide her baby brother and took him to the Temple, where her husband was a priest. Athaliah ruled as the queen of Judah and thought that all the members of David’s family were dead.
