The last chapter closed after Athaliah became queen. She proceeded to kill all (except one) of the royal seed (who were her grandchildren!). She reigned in sin for six years. One grandson, who was now 7, had survived her reign of terror. When she saw her reign ending, she screamed, “Treason, treason.” But she was taken and rightly executed. God was now working through a faithful and courageous priest (Jehoiada). Let us learn courage so He can use us when He needs to.
