Ngunit si Jehosabet, isang babaeng anak ng hari ay kinuha si Joas, isang lalaking anak ni Ahazias, at matapang niyang tinakas mula sa mga anak ng hari na pinatay. Inilagay siya sa isang silid kasama ang kaniyang tagapag-alaga. Kaya itinago siya ni Jehosabet, isang babaeng anak ni Haring Jehoram, at asawa ng paring si Joiada (sapagkat siya ay kapatid ni Ahazias), mula kay Atalia, kaya hindi siya napatay ni Atalia.
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
