1Joash became king of Judah in Jehu's seventh year as king of Israel, and he ruled 40 years from Jerusalem. His mother Zibiah was from the town of Beersheba.
2Jehoiada the priest taught Joash what was right, and so for the rest of his life Joash obeyed the Lord.
3But even Joash did not destroy the local shrines, and they were still used as places for offering sacrifices.
4 son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer murdered him in a building where the land was filled in on the east side of Jerusalem, near the road to Silla. Joash was buried beside his ancestors in Jerusalem, and his son Amaziah became king.
