Zibia

From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science

Zibia or Zibiah (Hebrew צִבְיָה a roe or deer) (prob. d. 884 BC according to Ussher or 841 BC according to Thiele) was a native of Beersheba and the wife of King Ahaziah of the Southern Kingdom and mother of Joash. Her mother-in-law Athaliah very likely murdered here after her husband died in the Jehu Revolution in the Northern Kingdom. Happily, her infant son escaped Athaliah's murderous campaign.
