The child shall be King

In 2 Chronicles 23 the head priest (who has been hiding away the only royal heir who was not killed by Athaliah) organizes a coup and a seven year old is installed as King. James is almost 7 and while I'm sure he would love to be king, I am not sure he would have the actual capacity to do the kingly things. So this boy was more of a figurehead. I think the priest did most of the thinking for him. And that priest stayed with him and kept him on track for the whole of the priests life. But when the priest died, the king ran it off in a ditch. Apparently he was influenced as deeply for good as I'm sure his mentor would have liked.
