2 Kings 8:16Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingIn the fifth year of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, and of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, reigned. See the chapter |
And Jehosheba, the daughter of king Jehoram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst of the sons of the king, that were slain; and she took the nurse of him from the house of three stages; and she hid him from the face of Athaliah, so that he were not slain.
Forsooth the dwellers of Jerusalem ordained Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram, to be king for him; for the thieves of Arabia, that felled into the castles [or tents] of Judah, had slain all his greater or elder brethren, which were begotten before him. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigned.
