Zibia or Zibiah (Hebrew: צביה, Ẓiḇyā; "Name means::a roe or Name means::deer") (prob. d. 884 BC according to Ussher or 841 BC according to Thiele) was a native of Beersheba and the wife of King Ahaziah of the Kingdom of Judah and mother of Joash. Her mother-in-law Athaliah very likely murdered her after her husband died in the Jehu Revolution in the Kingdom of Israel. Happily, her infant son escaped Athaliah's murderous campaign.
