Joash was seven years old when he began to reign.

In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother's name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.

Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the years Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
