Wicked character attributed to Athaliah · dominant
In 2 Chronicles 24:7, the feminine singular absolute form is used in connection with Athaliah; the APB renders the verse, “For Athaliah the wicked woman,” before describing her sons’ break-in to the house of God and their use of sacred things for the Baals.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Chronicles 24:7, the APB presents the term within “Athaliah the wicked woman.” The precise division of that English phrase cannot be confirmed from the rendering alone.
