2 Kings 11:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister to Ahaziah, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons who were to be killed, he and his nurse, from the bedchamber. And they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not killed.

³ And he was hidden in the House of the LORD with her for six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.

⁴ And the seventh year, Jehoiada sent and took the captains over hundreds, with captains and those of the guard, and had them come to him, into the House of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath from them in the House of the LORD and showed them the king’s son.
