Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all the years Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
Therefore King Joash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and asked them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage done to the temple? Take no more money from your treasurers, but hand it over for repairing the temple.”
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not as his father David had done. In everything he followed the example of his father Joash.
Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all the years of Jehoiada the priest.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not wholeheartedly.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done.
