1. (12:2) In Jehu’s seventh year Jehoash became king; he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother was Zibiah, who was from Beer Sheba.
2. Throughout his lifetime Jehoash did what the Lord approved, just as Jehoiada the priest taught him.
3. But the high places were not eliminated; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places.
