He was hid with her six years Probably Athaliah thought they were dead; or, if she suspected this child was preserved, she supposed an infant could do her no great harm; and that she could so well establish herself in the possession of the kingdom within a few years, that she need not fear any such weak competitor. And Athaliah did reign over the land Which she had the better opportunity of doing, because she was not only the late king's wife, but also, probably, made queen-regent upon Joram's going to Ramoth-gilead.
