1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada, the priest.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he begat sons and daughters.
4 And it came to pass after this that Joash desired to repair the house of the Lord.
