==Biblical narrative== thumb|Athaliah murders all infant claimants to the throne (Antoine Dufour, 1505) thumb|Gustave Doré, The Death of Athaliah. Accounts of Athaliah’s life are found in 2 Kings 8:16–11:16 and 2 Chronicles 22:10–23:15 in the Hebrew Bible. According to the Deuteronomist, she was the daughter of king Omri of Israel; however, she is usually considered to have been the daughter of King Ahab – the son of Omri – and his wife, Queen Jezebel. Some scholars believe Athaliah was the daughter of Omri, but that she grew up as an orphan in the court of Ahab.
