Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all his days because the priest Jehoiada instructed him.
In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash began to reign; he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away; the people continued to sacrifice and make offerings on the high places.
Therefore King Jehoash summoned the priest Jehoiada with the other priests and said to them, “Why are you not repairing the house? Now therefore do not accept any more silver from your donors but hand it over for the repair of the house.”
He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like his ancestor David; in all things he did as his father Joash had done.
Joash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of the priest Jehoiada.
He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not with a true heart.
He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done.
