Common English Bible

Jehoash rules Judah

^21 [a] Jehoash was 7 years old when he became king.

12 He^[b] became king in Jehu’s seventh year, and he ruled for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beer-sheba. ² Jehoash always did what was right in the Lord’s eyes, because the priest Jehoiada was his teacher. ³ However, the shrines were not removed. People kept sacrificing and burning incense at them.
