Queen Azubah was the wife of King Asa (r. 910-869 BC), and mother of King Jehoshaphat (r. 872-848 BC).
She was the daughter of Shilhi. Her mother is unknown.
Her husband, Asa, whose grandmother was Queen Maacah, was the third king of the Kingdom of Judah. His father, King Abijam, son of Rehoboam, reigned as the second king of the Kingdom of Judah (c. 913-910 BC).
Queen Maacah gave birth to Asa’s father, Abijam, and uncles Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
King Asa, began to rule over Judah in the twentieth year of King Jeroboam’s reign in the Kingdom of Israel (931-910 BC). King Asa reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years.
When Asa died, he was buried among his ancestors in the City of David. Then their son Jehoshaphat, became the next king of the Kingdom of Judah.
Through an alliance between King Jehoshaphat of Judah (r. 872-848 BC) with the Kingdom of Israel, one of the terms was that his son, King Jehoram (r. 853-841 BC) married Athaliah (r. 841-835 BC), the daughter of King Ahab & Queen Jezebel.
King Ahab (r. 874-853 BC) was the son and successor of King Omri (r. 885-874 BC). His father, Omri, was the founder of the short-lived House of Omri.
Queen Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal I of the Sidonians, the sister of Baal-Eser II. Jezebel married King Ahab of Samaria, the northern kingdom of Israel.
Queen Athaliah’s son, King Ahaziah (c. 841 BC), was the first King of Judah to be descended from both the House of David and the House of Omri, through his mother and successor.
The dynasty's rule ended with the murder of King Zechariah of Israel by Shallum in 752 BC, who was then killed by Menahem (r. 752-742 BC) the next month.
