JEHOASH

When Athaliah destroyed the royal family of Judah and took the throne for herself, one infant prince was hidden away in the house of the LORD. For six years the child Jehoash lived in secret. Then the faithful priest Jehoiada brought him out, placed the crown on his head, and the people shouted, God save the king. This graphic novel retells the story of the boy king of Judah, drawn faithfully from 2 Kings 11 and 12 and 2 Chronicles 23 and 24 in the King James Version. Readers follow Jehoash as he grows under the instruction of Jehoiada, grieves over the neglected temple, and leads the great repair of the house of the LORD, gathering the offerings of the people in a chest beside the altar until every breach was mended. Told through cinematic panels, dialogue, and full KJV scripture, this book invites teens and young readers into a story of hidden purpose, godly mentorship, courageous leadership, and the unfinished work that every generation must face. Ideal for youth ministry, family reading, and Bible study.
