Wait, isn't Athalia the daughter of King Ahab, not Omri? Benami 22:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Although the OP is long gone, I'm sure others would be interested in the answer, so I'll give one.

The answer here depends on how three verses are understood together:

1. 2 Kings 8:18: He [Joram, king of Judah] went in the way of the kings of Israel, because the daugher if Ahab was his wife, and he did bad in the eyes of God.
2. 2 Kings 8:26: Ahaziahu [king of Judah, son of Joram] was 22 years old when he became king, and ruled for one year in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Athaliahu, daughter of Omri king of Israel.
3. 2 Kings 8:27: He [Ahaziahu] did what was bad in the eyes of God like the house of Ahab, because he was the hatan of the house of Ahab.

These verses leave 2 questions to be asked: firstly, what does the word chatan mean in this verse (not groom, the normal meaning of this word); and secondly, how do you deal with the contradiction between the first 2 verses here. Animal lover 666 (talk) 00:33, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's at least one mistake in this article :
"Second Kings 8:29" doesn't say "that Jehoram, Athaliah's husband, was related by marriage (hatan) to the house of Ahab".
Can anybody help and tell me what the sources (Katzenstein & Thiel) really say ? It would help me to make the French page about Athaliah. Thanks -- Jan^IIISobieski 14:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How are people even arguing about the year of birth of a myth? 79.106.203.97 (talk) 07:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this article about a myth, written like it is real? 79.106.203.97 (talk) 07:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A bit extreme to put a articles on biblical stories as articles on myth, although I do share the scepsis on so called "biblical history". I have never understood this story: why would Athalia, after the death of her son, want to kill all his offspring, her own grandchildren??? I would like to suggest a far more logical possibility for this story, they were instead all killed by Jehoiada, who then put his own kin on the trown and blaming Athalia for killing the royal ofspring. Then the "House of David" would really have ended here. Codiv (talk) 13:43, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
