Talk:Athaliah

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

Mistake
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 -- JanIIISobieski 14:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Athaliah would have been born in 877E BCE at the earliest? Typo?
What does 877E mean? (PeacePeace (talk) 15:41, 2 May 2018 (UTC))


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

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