Context: Jehoshabath, also known as Jehosheba, is a notable figure in the Hebrew Scriptures, specifically mentioned in the context of the royal lineage of Judah. She was the daughter of King Jehoram of Judah and the sister of King Ahaziah. Jehoshabath is most renowned for her courageous act of saving her nephew, Joash, from the massacre orchestrated by Athaliah, the queen mother, who sought to exterminate the royal family to secure her power. Jehoshabath, being married to Jehoiada the priest, hid Joash in the temple for six years, ensuring his survival and eventual ascension to the throne. Her actions are recorded in 2 Chronicles 22:11, where it states, "But Jehoshabath, the daughter of King Jehoram, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being put to death, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. So Jehoshabath, the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of Jehoiada the priest, hid him from Athaliah so that she could not kill him." Her bravery and faithfulness played a crucial role in preserving the Davidic line, which was significant for the fulfillment of God's covenant promises.
