2 Chron 22, 23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahaziah and Joram were rebel fools
Went out against Jehu, the Lord’s anointed,
To cut the house of Ahab off, (7)
A move quite worthy of a scoff.
While Jehu was smackin’ Ahab down, (8)
He slew the princes of Judah too.
Caught Ahaziah hiding in Samaria; (9)
Brought him to Jehu for his own burial
-The end of the line for the house of Ahaziah.
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of Joram,
Married to a priest called Jehoiada,
Hid little Joash from Athaliah, (12)
A whole six years in the dark!
Then Jehoiada, the priest, made a plan;
Rounded up five captains of hundreds (23:1)
And made a covenant with those fellows;
Gathered up those Levites from all the cities;
Crowned little Joash and made him king. (3)
Levites only in the house of the Lord! (6)
The priest gave the captains shields and spears: (9)
David’s weapons over the years.
He stationed the people on the left and right;
Joash was crowned king in everyone’s sight. (11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
