All these years she had known that God had given her, her husband Jehoiada the high priest of the temple. The palace had been in uproar when she had chosen to marry below her station. Being a princess she had been expected to marry a prince or a King. But, Jehosheba had always felt that the palace was not the place for her. She felt closest to her God when she was worshiping at the temple. The connection she felt strengthened her soul.

With her mind twirling with thoughts, she walked Adina to the extra bedroom and put her on the bed to sleep. She rang the bell and asked Hila to bring Adina a hot calming drink.

Seeing her friend’s fluttering eye lids, Jehosheba walked out the room and took a deep breath.

The royal family was no more. Had Athaliah killed the wives and concubines that lived it he palace? Had she killed Ahaziahs wife Zibiah? Then like a lightning a name came into her mind. Baby Joash!

Athalia had killed baby Joash! She gasped for breath and leaned onto the pillar of the temple. Her mind raced. What if the soldier’s hadn’t gotten there yet? What if there was a chance? She had to do something! Her heart trembled at the thought of facing Athaliah. She wiped the little wet droplets on her forehead. Why must she be afraid? She was no longer a young girl hidden in the shadows watching helplessly from her bedroom balcony as young girls were taken to be sacrificed to Baal. She was a woman now and she had her God. The God her mother had showed her. Her mother had been one of the concubines of her father but a God fearing woman. She had died from a sickness when Jehosheba was younger. How she missed her. The last time they had been together, her mother had prayed over her.
