people in the Bible: Athaliah

people in the Bible:  Athaliah by ric Gustafson


Athaliah means ' The Time of Jehovah'. Athaliah was married to King Jehoram. Athaliah was the daughter of King Ahab and his wicked wife Jezebel. Like her mother Athaliah worshiped Baal. After Jehoram died, Athaliah's son Ahaziah became king. Her son was killed after one year as king. Athaliah tried to become queen of Judah by killing her own male grandchildren. Athaliah's daughter Jehoseba hid one of the grandchildren named Joash. He was crowned king in a secret ceremony. Athaliah was executed for her crimes.
What will we be remembered for?.
