1. In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash became king. He reigned in Jerusalem forty years, and the name of his mother was Zibiah from Beersheba.
2. Jehoash did right in the eyes of Yahweh all of his days, because Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3. Only the high places were not removed; the people were still making sacrifices and offering incense on the high places.
