Gustave Doré, The Death of Athaliah.. Accounts of Athaliah’s life are found in 2 Kings 8:16–11:16 and 2 Chronicles 22:10–23:15 in the Hebrew Bible.According to the chroniclers, she was the daughter of king Omri of Israel; [1] however, she is usually considered to have been the daughter of King Ahab – the son of Omri – and his wife, Queen Jezebel. [2]
Jehoram or Joram (Hebrew: יְהוֹרָם, romanized: Yəhorām) was the ninth king of the northern Kingdom of Israel according to 2 Kings 8:16 and 2 Kings 8:25–28. He was the son of King Ahab and Jezebel and brother to Ahaziah and Athaliah. According to 2 Kings 8:16, in the fifth year of Jehoram of Israel, a different Jehoram became king of ...
Jehoram took to wife Athaliah, his namesake's sister and daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, "and he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab" (II Kings viii. 18, 27). His wickedness would have brought his people to destruction, except for the promise to David "to give him always a light, and to his children" (ib. viii. 19 ...
The last ruler, Athaliah, survived and usurped the Judean throne. However Jehu, who was the son of Jehoshaphat , [ 5 ] and the grandson of Nimshi , could possibly be a great-grandson of Omri [ 6 ] (although the latter notion is not supported by the biblical text), which would extend the period of the "House of Omri" for much longer.
Among the members of this extended House of Omri, the names Ahaziah, Jehoram, Athaliah, and Jehoshaphat are all theophoric names incorporating the name of Yahweh, while Omri, Ahab, and Nimshi make no reference to the deity. This may be reflective of the different religious tendencies among the first and second generations of the royal family ...
Jehoram (meaning "Jehovah is exalted" in Biblical Hebrew) was the name of several individuals in the Tanakh. The female version of this name is Athaliah . The son of Toi, King of Hamath who was sent by his father to congratulate David on the occasion of his victory over Hadadezer (2 Samuel 8:10)
The unique information in the Chronicles that Jehoram's daughter Jehoshabeath (spelled as "Jehosheba" in 2 Kings 11 [13] [25]) was the wife of Jehioada, the high priest could be historically reliable, despite the lack of support elsewhere in the Hebrew BIble, and it can explain why she could stay in the temple grounds. [11]
She was the daughter of King Jehoram of Judah, sister to King Ahaziah of Judah and wife of Jehoiada the priest. She was a daughter of Jehoram, but not necessarily of Athaliah. After the death of Ahaziah, his mother, Athaliah, made herself Queen of Judah and ordered the execution of all members of the royal family that could claim the throne.
