Jehoash Reigns in Judah

^{21 [a] (A)}Jehoash^[b] was seven years old when he began to reign.

12 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash^[c] began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba. ² And Jehoash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, because Jehoiada the priest instructed him. ³ Nevertheless, ^(B)the high places were not taken away; the people continued to sacrifice and make offerings on the high places.
