And when Jehoiada had set these things in order, he, with the captains
of hundreds, and the rulers, and all the people, took Jehoash out of the
temple into the king's palace; and when he had set him upon the king's
throne, the people shouted for joy, and betook themselves to feasting,
and kept a festival for many days; but the city was quiet upon the death
of Athaliah. Now Jehoash was seven years old when he took the kingdom.
His mother's name was Zibiah, of the city Beersheba. And all the time that
Jehoiada lived Jehoash was careful that the laws should be kept, and very
zealous in the worship of God; and when he was of age, he married two wives,
who were given to him by the high priest, by whom were born to him both
sons and daughters. And thus much shall suffice to have related concerning
king Jehoash, how he escaped the treachery of Athaliah, and how he received
the kingdom.
