ellauri171.html on line 788: The lesson: God always wins. That's a pretty simplistic way of saying it, but it's true nonetheless. Even when people like Athaliah try to stomp out an entire family and put an end to God's plan for redemption, when people like the priests of Baal lead others to worship idols instead of the true God, God will always triumph in the end. The negative forces of our culture make us wonder where we're headed as a people. Many of our leaders show little integrity or morality, and dishonesty is overlooked in the workplace. Kindness is often the exception rather than the rule. But don't despair. This is not a battle God plans to lose. In the end, he will prevail! You just wight Enry Jiggins!
ellauri171.html on line 1029: Jezebel is characterized as totally evil in the biblical text and beyond it: in the New Testament her name is a generic catchword for a whoring, non-believing female adversary (Revelations 2:20); in Judeo-Christian traditions, she is evil. The Bible is careful not to refer to her as queen. And yet, this is precisely what she seems to have been. Some early Jewish, albeit post-biblical, sources deconstruct the general picture: “Four women exercised government in the world: Jezebel and Athaliah from Israel, Semiramis and Vashti from the [gentile] nations” (in a Jewish Midrash for the Book of Esther, Esther Rabbah)
ellauri498.html on line 286: Jehoram of Judah (The Southern Kingdom) was the son of the godly King Jehoshaphat. In an attempt to seal a peace treaty between the two rival kingdoms, Jehoram of Judah married Athaliah, who was the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel (and the sister of Joram of Israel).  Influenced by his wife, he introduced the pagan worship of Baal into Judah. The Bible states he died unlamented from a horrific intestinal disease [2 Chronicles 21:18-20].
ellauri498.html on line 288: For once, the 2 kingdoms were close allies. But not for long! In fact, when Jehu launched his rebellion, he caught both kings pants down in the exact same place (Jezreel), where Joram of Israel was recovering from battle wounds and Jehoram’s son (Ahaziah of Judah) was visiting him. Jehu ended up killing both the King of Israel and the heir of Judah on the very same day [2 Kings 9]. Athaliah then tried to seize the throne of Judah for herself.
ellauri498.html on line 290: Atalja (engl. Athaliah) oli koko Raamatun historian ainoa nainen, joka kaappasi Juudan valtaistuimen ja hallitsi sitä yksinvaltiaana [2. Kun. 11]. Hän oli Israelin kuninkaan Ahabin ja herjatun kuningatar Isebelin tytär, ja hän toi äitinsä säälimättömät toimintatavat mukanaan Jerusalemiin. Heti kuultuaan poikansa kuolemasta Atalja määräsi kaikki Juudan kuninkaallisen perheen jäsenet tapettaviksi [2. Kun. 11:1]. Hän murhautti omat lapsenlapsensa ja muut Daavidin suvun perilliset eliminoidakseen kaikki mahdolliset kilpailijat valtaistuimelle.
ellauri499.html on line 159: 2 Kings 8:26 (cf. 2 Chr 22:2) states that Omri’s granddaughter Athaliah married the Judahite King J(eh)oram, and their son Ahaziah—named after his Israelite royal uncle Ahaziah?—is said to have ruled in Jerusalem for one year before his death, after which his widow, Ahab’s daughter, "Conspiracy! Conspiracy!" Athaliah, claimed the monarchic prerogative of ruling Judah for the next seven years (so 2 Kings 11).
