 II Chronicles 22

Athaliah orders the royal family to be killed, but Joash escapes

10 When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family of the house of Judah.

11 But Jehoshaphat, the king's daughter, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and brought him out from among the king's sons who were being killed, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Jehoshaphat, the daughter of King Joram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was Ahaziah's sister), hid him from Athaliah's sight, so that she did not kill him.

12 And she was hidden with them in the house of God six years, and Athaliah reigned over the land.
