An Application
Jehoram was a jerk (2CH 21:4,6) but his daughter turned out ok (2KI 11:2-3). Hard to imagine raising a baby in a temple for 6 years. No walks in the park for either of them. Like his dad, Ahaziah, Joash had a messed up life. The king of the nation to the north, supposed to be their relatives, killed off most of his family, then his grandma killed off the rest. He understandably won't end up the most well-adjusted king in Israel's history, but will do some good.
Connect the Dots
In 2KI 11:20 (and elsewhere) it's clear the people of Judah were not fans of being subjects of Ahab's daughter, Athaliah, the foreigner who came in by marriage from their rival nation from the north (2KI 8:26) and then killed off as many of the rightful heirs to the throne as she could (2KI 11:1).
