Who this is
Jehosheba was a daughter of King Jehoram of Judah and, according to 2 Chronicles 22:11, wife of the high priest Jehoiada. When the usurper Athaliah moved to kill the entire royal family after her son Ahaziah's death, Jehosheba hid the infant prince Joash in the temple for six years, preserving the Davidic line (2 Kings 11:2-3). She is called Jehoshabeath in 2 Chronicles 22:11.
