Men Jehosjabeat, kongens datter, tok Joash, sønn av Ahaziah, og stjal ham fra kongens sønner som ble drept, og satte ham og hans amme i det innerste rommet i sengekammerene. Og Jehosjabeat, datter av kong Jehoram, kone til presten Jehojada, fordi hun var Ahaziahs søster, skjulte ham for Athalia, og hun drepte ham ikke.
And Jehoshabeath daughter of the king taketh Joash son of Ahaziah, and stealeth him from the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, and putteth him and his nurse into the inner part of the bed-chambers, and Jehoshabeath daughter of king Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she hath been sister of Ahaziah, hideth him from the face of Athaliah, and she hath not put him to death.
