Exegesis
The narrative unfolds through a sequence of vav-consecutive verbs—vatikach {וַתִּקַּח | and she took}, vatignov {וַתִּגְנֹב | and she stole}, vatiten {וַתִּתֵּן | and she gave}, vatistirehu {וַתַּסְתִּירֵהוּ | and she hid him}—emphasizing swift rescue.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:11
And Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being killed. She placed him and his nurse in the bedchamber and hid him—Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of Jehoiada the priest—because she was Ahaziah’s sister, so that Athaliah did not put him to death.
