Correct answer: Joash.
God had promised David that the throne would remain with his descendants. When Athaliah seized power, all the royal sons were killed, except for Joash. He was rescued and hidden in the temple.
Joash was raised and protected by the priest Jehoiada and his wife, who took great care of him. Through their actions, Joash was crowned king. At first, everything went well. He was faithful to God and organized the collection of money to repair the temple.
Later, however, things changed. After Jehoiada died, Joash listened to bad advice and turned to idol worship. He even ordered the death of Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada, who had helped raise him. This shows great ingratitude and moral failure.
That was not what I meant at all. I realize that I expressed myself poorly, and I understand why it came across that way. English is difficult for me, and I can see how my words were misunderstood.
What I meant was that it sounded to me as if Lynx thought the riddle would be impossible to solve. My point was simply that I believe there are people who could solve it, especially if they are familiar with the Old Testament. I did not mean to imply that anyone who could not solve it is stupid or inferior. I am sorry for this.
