2 Chronicles 22:11

11 But Yehoshav`at, the daughter of the king, took Yo'ash the son of Achazyah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Yehoshav`at, the daughter of king Yehoram, the wife of Yehoiada the Kohen (for she was the sister of Achazyah), hid him from `Atalyah, so that she didn't kill him.

2 Chronicles 22:11 In-Context

9 He sought Achazyah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Shomron), and they brought him to Yehu, and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Yehoshafat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. The house of Achazyah had no power to hold the kingdom.

10 Now when `Atalyah the mother of Achazyah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Yehudah.

11 But Yehoshav`at, the daughter of the king, took Yo'ash the son of Achazyah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Yehoshav`at, the daughter of king Yehoram, the wife of Yehoiada the Kohen (for she was the sister of Achazyah), hid him from `Atalyah, so that she didn't kill him.

12 He was with them hid in the house of God six years: and `Atalyah reigned over the land.
