Joash

The son of King Ahaziah. While yet an infant, he was saved from the general massacre of the family by his aunt Jehosheba, and was apparently the only surviving descendant of Solomon (2 Chr. 21:4, 17). His uncle, the high priest Jehoiada, brought him forth to public notice when he was eight years of age, and crowned and anointed him king of Judah with the usual ceremonies. Athaliah was taken by surprise when she heard the shout of the people, “Long live the king;” and when she appeared in the temple, Jehoiada commanded her to be led forth to death (2 Kings 11:13-20). While the high priest lived, Jehoash favoured the worship of God and observed the law; but on his death he fell away into evil courses, and the land was defiled with idolatry. Zechariah, the son and successor of the high priest, was put to death. These evil deeds brought down on the land the judgement of God, and it was oppressed by the Syrian invaders. He is one of the three kings omitted by Matthew (1:8) in the genealogy of Christ, the other two being Ahaziah and Amaziah. He was buried in the city of David (2 Kings 12:21).

OET-RV KI2 11:1

11 When Ahazyah’s mother Atalyah (Athaliah) saw that her son had been killed, she went and had all of his descendants executed so that none of them could claim the throne.

OET-RV KI2 11:2

2 However, King Yoram’s (Joram’s) daughter Yehosheva took Yoash, the son of her sister Ahazyah, and hid him in the bedroom along with his wet-nurse. Although he was on the list of the king’s sons to be executed, they hid him from Atalyah, and so he wasn’t killed.

OET-RV KI2 11:3

3 Then he was able to stay hidden with her in the temple for the six years while Atalyah ruled Yehudah (Judah).

OET-RV KI2 11:4

4 In the seventh year, Yehoyada the priest sent for the officers over the royal bodyguards and the palace bodyguards to come to him inside Yahweh’s temple. He made them agree to take an oath of secrecy and loyalty in the temple, then he let them see the king’s son.

OET-RV KI2 11:5

5 Then he commanded them, “This is what you all need to do: On the Rest Day, one third of you must go and guard the king’s palace.

OET-RV KI2 11:12

12 Then the priest brought young Yoash out and put the crown on his head. He handed him the official scroll, and they anointed him and made him king. Then they clapped their hands and shouted, “Long live the king!”
