Two and twenty years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, - and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, - and, his mother's name, was Athaliah, daughter of Omri, king of Israel;

Now, when, Athaliah, mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

But Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were being slain - him and his nurse, into the bedchamber, - so she hid him from the face of Athaliah, that he was not slain.

And he was with her, in the house of Yahweh, hiding himself, six years, - while, Athaliah, was reigning over the land.

And, when Athaliah heard the noise of the runners, the people, then came she in unto the people, in the house of Yahweh,

and looked, and lo! the king, standing by the pillar, as the custom was, and the captains and the trumpeters, by the king, and, all the people of the land, rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets, - so Athaliah rent her garments, and cried out - Conspiracy! conspiracy!

and all the people of the land rejoiced, and, the city, had rest, - when they had put, Athaliah, to death with the sword, in the house of the king.
