2 Chronicles 22:11

22:11 So Jehoshabeath, ¹  the daughter of King Jehoram, ²  took Ahaziah’s son Joash and sneaked him away ³  from the rest of the royal descendants who were to be executed. She hid him and his nurse in the room where the bed covers were stored. So Jehoshabeath the daughter of King Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest and sister of Ahaziah, hid him from Athaliah so she could not execute him.

2 Chronicles 22:2

22:2 Ahaziah was twenty-two ⁴  years old when he became king and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. His mother was Athaliah, the granddaughter ⁵  of Omri.

2 Chronicles 11:12

11:12 In each city there were shields and spears; he strongly fortified them. ⁶  Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.

¹ sn Jehoshabeath is a variant spelling of the name Jehosheba (2 Kgs 11:2).

² tn Heb “the king”; the referent (King Jehoram, see later in this verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “stole.”

⁴ tc Heb “forty-two,” but the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 8:26 reads “twenty-two” along with some mss of the LXX and the Syriac.

⁵ tn The Hebrew term בַּת (bat, “daughter”) can refer, as here, to a granddaughter. See HALOT 165-66 s.v. I בַּת 1.

⁶ tn Heb “he strengthened them greatly, very much.”
