 Athaliah
    whom God afflicts. (1.) The daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, and
    the wife of Jehoram, king of Judah (2 Kings 8:18), who "walked
    in the ways of the house of Ahab" (2 Chr. 21:6), called
    "daughter" of Omri (2 Kings 8:26). On the death of her husband
    and of her son Ahaziah, she resolved to seat herself on the
    vacant throne. She slew all Ahaziah's children except Joash, the
    youngest (2 Kings 11:1,2). After a reign of six years she was
    put to death in an insurrection (2 Kings 11:20; 2 Chr. 21:6;
    22:10-12; 23:15), stirred up among the people in connection with
    Josiah's being crowned as king.
      (2.) Ezra 8:7. (3.) 1 Chr. 8:26.
