Faithfulness in Hiding

Name Date

Read and Think

Ahaziah reigned only one year. He walked in the ways of Ahab's house, for his mother Athaliah was his counselor in doing wickedly. After his father's death, members of Ahab's family became his advisers, to his destruction.

He took their advice and went to war with Joram of Israel. When Joram was wounded, Ahaziah went to visit him. God had anointed Jehu to cut off the house of Ahab, and Ahaziah was caught up in that judgment.

Then Athaliah seized power and set out to destroy all the royal offspring of Judah. But Jehoshabeath saved baby Joash. She was King Jehoram's daughter and the wife of Jehoiada the priest. She hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. He stayed hidden with them in God's house six years while Athaliah reigned.

2 Chronicles 22 · Grade 5

The Promise in Danger

Name Date

Read and Think

This short chapter shows how close David's line came to ending. Ahaziah, grandson of Ahab through Athaliah, followed his mother's wicked counsel and the advice of Ahab's family. His alliance with Joram of Israel placed him in the path of Jehu, whom God had anointed to judge Ahab's house.

When Ahaziah died, Athaliah moved to destroy all the royal offspring of the house of Judah. If she had succeeded, God's promise of a lamp for David would seem to fail. The whole line of the Messiah hung on one baby.

God used a faithful woman. Jehoshabeath, a princess married to Jehoiada the priest, stole Joash away and hid him in God's house for six years. The promise survived in hiding. In the New Testament, another wicked ruler, Herod, tried to kill a royal child, but Joseph took Jesus and fled to Egypt (Matthew 2:13-14).

Show What You Know

  1. Whose grandson was Ahaziah?

  2. What would seem to fail if Athaliah succeeded?

  3. What hung on one baby?

  4. Whom did God use to save Joash?

  5. Who tried to kill a royal child in Matthew 2?
