he was with them hid in the house of God--Certain persons connected with the priesthood had a right to occupy the buildings in the outer wall, and all within the outer wall was often called the temple. Jehoiada and his family resided in one of these apartments. |

Hid in the house of God - "In the house of the sanctuary of God." - Targum. Or, as he says on Ch2 22:11, בקודש קודשיא bekudash kudeshaiya "in the holy of holies." To this place Athaliah had no access, therefore Joash lay concealed, he and his affectionate aunt-nurse. - See on Kg2 11:1 (note). |
1 And when Athaliah [06271] the mother [0517] of Ahaziah [0274] saw [07200] that her son [01121] was dead [04191], she arose [06965] and destroyed [06] all the seed [02233] royal [04467].
11 But Jehoshabeath [03090], the daughter [01323] of the king [04428], took [03947] Joash [03101] the son [01121] of Ahaziah [0274], and stole [01589] him from among [08432] the king's [04428] sons [01121] that were slain [04191], and put [05414] him and his nurse [03243] in a bedchamber [02315] [04296]. So Jehoshabeath [03090], the daughter [01323] of king [04428] Jehoram [03088], the wife [0802] of Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548], (for she was the sister [0269] of Ahaziah [0274],) hid [05641] him from [06440] Athaliah [06271], so that she slew [04191] him not.
