1st Reading – 2 Kings 11:1-4, 9-18, 20
1 When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she began to kill off the whole royal family.
2 But Jehosheba, daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, his son, and spirited him away, along with his nurse, from the bedroom where the princes were about to be slain. She concealed him from Athaliah, and so he did not die.
3 For six years he remained hidden in the temple of the LORD, while Athaliah ruled the land.
4 But in the seventh year, Jehoiada summoned the captains of the Carians
and of the guards. He had them come to him in the temple of the LORD, exacted from them a sworn commitment, and then showed them the king’s son.
