Settings

1 Or quando Athalia, madre di Achazia, vide che il suo figliuolo era morto, si levò e distrusse tutta la stirpe reale.
2 Ma Jehosceba, figliuola del re Joram, sorella di Achazia, prese Joas, figliuolo di Achazia, lo trafugò di mezzo ai figliuoli del re ch’eran messi a morte, e lo pose con la sua balia nella camera dei letti; così fu nascosto alle ricerche d’Athalia, e non fu messo a morte.
3 E rimase nascosto con Jehosceba per sei anni nella casa dell’Eterno; intanto Athalia regnava sul paese.
