2 Kings 12:1-3

Living Bible

12 It was seven years after Jehu had become the king of Israel that Joash became king of Judah. He reigned in Jerusalem for forty years. (His mother was Zibiah, from Beersheba.) ² All his life Joash did what was right because Jehoiada the High Priest instructed him. ³ Yet even so he didn’t destroy the shrines on the hills—the people still sacrificed and burned incense there.
