I. Athaliah usurps the government and destroys all the seed-royal, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.11.1" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.11.1">2 Kgs. 11:1</a>. II. Joash, a child of a year old, is wonderfully preserved, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.11.2,2Kgs.11.3" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.11.2,2Kgs.11.3"><span class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.11.2">2 Kgs. 11:2</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.11.3">3</span></a>.

Both the civil and religious interests of the kingdom are well settled in the hands of Joash, <a class="bibleref" title="2Kgs.11.17-2Kgs.11.21" href="/passage/?search=2Kgs.11.17-2Kgs.11.21">2 Kgs. 11:17-21</a>. And thus, after some interruption, things returned with advantage into the old channel.</p>
