    23 At the turn of the year, the Aramean army came up against Joash. They invaded Judah and Jerusalem, and they destroyed all the leaders of the people, sending all the plunder to the king of Damascus.

    24 Though the Aramean army had come with only a small force of men, the Lord delivered into their hands a very large army because Judah had forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors. So they executed judgment against Joash.

    25 When the Arameans withdrew, leaving Joash severely wounded, his officials conspired against him for murdering the sons of Jehoiada the priest. They killed him on his bed, and he died. He was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

    9 Jehu then searched for Ahaziah, and they captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. They brought him to Jehu and put him to death. However, they buried him, for they said, 'He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart.' And there was no one in Ahaziah’s family strong enough to retain the kingdom.

She placed him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so she could not kill him.
