I don't know about the rest of your message, but the phrase "a Bar-Sinister"
is nonsensical gibberish. A bar, by its very nature, cannot be either
sinister or dexter. Kindly re-check your sources.

genealogy sets forth as the son of Joram. In other words, three generations
are missing, three generations of kings of Judah who, while they preserved
intact the line of the Promised Seed, did not in themselves prove worthy to
be remembered in it. Thus the curse pronounced upon the house of Ahab by
Elijah, God's mouthpiece, persisted unto the fourth generation: Athaliah was
the first generation of Ahab's line, Ahaziah was the second generation,
Joash the third, and Amaziah the fourth.
>In the official temple records, it may be that the names of Ahaziah, Joash,
and Amaziah were removed or marked in some way as having no official status
in the royal line - just as in Europe a Bar-Sinister may be marked across
the arms
of a dishonored branch of a family.
