Who is Jedidah in the book, All of the Women of the Bible?

Jedidah is described as having had an evil husband. However wicked, her husband was a real king and therefore she was clearly "upper crust". Her husband was murdered. Her son was put onto the throne at the tender age of eight, meaning that as his mother as guardian, she was either one of a group of powerful advisers or else she actually ran the kingdom through her son's position until he grew up to be "the real king". She is cited as having succeeded in being a good influence upon her son, as well as a protector. He was a Jew, or a worshiper of "the one true God," and was able to create an atmosphere of reform, which is really the kind of thing that staves off many a political assassination. She is credited with having uplifted the quality of the leadership, including the moral or ethical quality of their behavior.
