Christian Canuck | God's Sovereignty Over Athaliah's Wicked Schemes Schemes 2 Chronicles 22-23 and 2 Kings 11 @christiancanuck | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Queen Athaliah of Judah, daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, influenced her husband Jehoram and son Ahaziah to commit evil, continuing her parents' legacy of wickedness. After Ahaziah's death, she seized power by killing all potential heirs but failed to kill Joash, who was hidden and later made king by the priest Jehoiada, leading to her execution. Athaliah's attempt to extinguish David's line was thwarted by God's grace, preserving the Davidic promise and pointing to the Messiah's ultimate fulfillment.
