10 When Ahazyah’s mother Atalyah found out that her son had died, she took action and destroyed all the his family members who could become king of Yehudah. 11 However, a princess named Yehoshaveat took Ahazyah’s son Yoash, and she sneaked him away from among the king’s sons who were about to be killed, and she hid him and his nurse in a bedroom. Yehoshaveat was the daughter of the late King Yehoram, the wife of Yehoyada the priest (she was Ahazyah’s sister), and she hid him from Atalyah so she couldn’t kill him. 12 He stayed in hiding with them in the temple for six years while Atalyah ruled over Yehudah.
