1 Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

2 Jehoash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

3 However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
