2 Chronicles 22:12 In-Context

10 And Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, and she rose up, and killed all the king's generation of the house of Jehoram. (And Athaliah, Ahaziah's mother, saw that her son was dead, and she rose up, and killed all the king's family of the house of Judah.)
11 Forsooth Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst of the sons of the king, when they were slain; and she hid him with his nurse in a closet of beds. For Jehoshabeath, that hid him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and (the) wife of Jehoiada, the bishop, and the sister of Ahaziah; and therefore Athaliah killed not her. (But Jehoshabeath, the king's daughter, took Joash, Ahaziah's son, and stole him away from the midst of the king's sons, when they were being killed; and she hid him with his nurse in a bed-closet. For Jehoshabeath, who hid him, was King Jehoram's daughter, and the wife of the High Priest Jehoiada, and Ahaziah's sister; and so Athaliah did not kill Joash.)
12 Therefore he was hid with them in the house of God (for) six years, in which Athaliah reigned on the land.
