2 Kings 11:21-12:3

New Century Version

²¹ Joash was seven years old when he became king.

12 Joash became king of Judah in Jehu’s seventh year as king of Israel, and he ruled for 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 taught him. ³ But the places where gods were worshiped were not removed; the people still made sacrifices and burned incense there.
