When Queen Athaliah seizes Judah's throne by killing the royal family, one infant prince is hidden in the temple for six years until a priest leads a coup to restore him.
After her son King Ahaziah is killed by Jehu, Athaliah murders nearly all the royal heirs and claims the throne — the only woman to rule either kingdom. But the priest Jehoiada and his wife hide the baby prince Joash in the temple. Six years later, Jehoiada reveals Joash, crowns him king, and has Athaliah executed. It's a close call for the line of David.
When a power-hungry queen murders the entire royal family to seize the throne, one woman hides a baby prince in the Temple for six years. Then a priest executes one of the most precisely planned coups in biblical history — and a seven-year-old boy becomes king.
2 ChroniclesThe Shortest Reign and the Rescue Nobody Saw ComingAhaziah takes the throne as the last option standing, follows his mother's terrible advice straight into ruin, and gets caught up in God's judgment on a corrupt dynasty. But when everything collapses, one brave woman hides a baby in the Temple — and keeps a promise alive for six years.
2 ChroniclesThe Priest Who Took Back a KingdomFor six years, a priest hid the last surviving heir to David's throne while a murderous queen ruled unchallenged.
