1 Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he ruled forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, and she was from Beersheba.
2 Joash did what the Lord said was right as long as Jehoiada the priest was alive.
3 Jehoiada chose two wives for Joash, and Joash had sons and daughters.
4 Later, Joash decided to repair the Temple of the Lord.
