Joash makes repairs to God's house
12 Joash became king of Judah in the seventh year that Jehu was king of Israel. Joash ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother's name was Zibiah. She came from Beersheba. 2 Jehoiada the priest taught Joash to do what was right. So Joash pleased the Lord all through his life.[a] 3 But Joash did not remove the altars on the hills. The people continued to offer sacrifices and to burn incense on those altars.
