2 Reyes 11:1-3

Atalía y Joás

1 Cuando Atalía, madre de Ocozías, vio que su hijo había muerto, tomó medidas para eliminar a toda la familia real.

2 Pero Josaba, que era hija del rey Jorán y hermana de Ocozías, raptó a Joás hijo de Ocozías cuando los príncipes estaban a punto de ser asesinados. Metiéndolo en un dormitorio con su nodriza, logró esconderlo de Atalía, de modo que no lo mataron.

3 Seis años estuvo Joás escondido con su nodriza en el templo del SEÑOR, mientras Atalía reinaba en el país.
