2 Chronicles 21:7Conservative English Versionbut because the LORD had made a solemn promise to King David that someone from his family would always rule in Judah, he refused to wipe out David's descendants. See the chapter |
but Jehosheba rescued Joash son of Ahaziah just as the others were about to be murdered. Jehosheba, who was Jehoram's daughter and Ahaziah's half sister, was married to Jehoiada the priest. So she was able to hide her nephew Joash and his personal servant in a bedroom in the LORD's temple where he was safe from Athaliah.
