2 Kings 12:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Temple Repaired

12 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. ² Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all his days, because the priest Jehoiada instructed him. ³ Nevertheless the high places were not taken away; the people continued to sacrifice and make offerings on the high places.
