If you thought Jezebel was evil, let me introduce you to Athaliah—a murdering woman who attempted to wipe out the royal line after her son died (he was evil, reigned one year, and was killed by Jehu). But the high priest’s wife hid one of the boys, and—after six years—he became king (Joash). Athaliah was brought down by the high priest, Jehoiada, who restored the worship of Jehovah and made the seven year old Joash king. Thus, the promise of the royal line through Judah continued (Genesis 49:10).
