Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 22:11
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
11. Jehoshabeath ] In Kings “Jehosheba.” The two are forms of the same name; cp. “Elisabeth” (Luk 1:7) and “Elisheba” (Exo 6:23), a similar pair.
in a bedchamber ] R.V. mg., in the chamber for the beds, i.e. in a store room in which bed furniture was kept.
the wife of Jehoiada the priest ] Cp. 2Ch 23:1. This relationship is not given in Kings.

(11) Jehoshabeath.Kings, Jehosheba. (Comp. Elisheba, Exo. 6:23; and (LXX.), Luk. 1:7.)
The daughter of the king.Kings adds Joram, and sister of Ahaziah.
That were slain.That were to be put to death.
In a bedchamber.Literally, in the chamber of beds, i.e., where the bedding was kept. (See Note on 2Ki. 11:2.)
The wife of Jehoiada the priest.So Josephus. Thenius questions the fact, on the supposed grounds(1) that the high priest did not live in the Temple; but the passage he alleges (Neh. 3:20-21) does not prove this for Jehoiada; and (2) that the chronicler contradicts himself in asserting that the priests wife also lived within the sacred precinct; but again his reference (2Ch. 8:11) is irrelevant. Ewald calls the statement in question genuinely historical; and there is not the smallest reason to doubt it.
