Athaliahs destruction of the seed royal had left Joash without a natural successor, and his marriage at the earliest suitable age, was, therefore, a matter of state policy. One of his wives in question was probably Jehoaddan of Jerusalem, the mother of Amaziah 2Ch 25:1<\/span>, who must have been taken to wife by Joash as early as his 21st year.<\/P> <\/p>\n 3.
