Treason! Treason!
Evil Queen Athaliah cried
She thought she'd killed all her grandsons
But one had not died

Her son, the king, was dead
And with all his sons out of the way
She could be Judah's first queen
And in the palace she could stay

But Jehoida the priest and
Jehoshabeath, his wife
Saw what Athaliah was doing
They saved little Joash's life

They hid him and raised him
In the temple until
They crowned him king
And executed God's will

When Eve Was deceived
By the serpent so cruel
She would forever be
under her husband's rule (Gen 3:16)

Then Paul confirmed it
In his 2nd letter to Timothy
Over the man, she should
Not "usurp authority" (2 Tim 2:12)

Women rule over them
And cause the people to go astray
Was what Isaiah said
About the troubles of his days (Isaiah 3:12)

What was Athaliah's downfall
After all was lost?
She wanted ALL the power
Whatever the cost!
