The Temple Repaired
12 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash began to reign; he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 2 Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all his days because the priest Jehoiada instructed him. 3 Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away; the people continued to sacrifice and make offerings on the high places.(B)

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.
