2 Kings 11:21–12:2

²¹Joash was seven years old when he became king.

12Joash became king of Judah in Jehu’s seventh year as king of Israel, and he ruled for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, and she was from Beersheba. ²Joash did what the Lord said was right as long as Jehoiada the priest taught him.
