1 Jehoash Repairs the Temple In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash became king. He reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

2 Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all his days because Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

3 However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and made offerings in the high places.
