Joash, also known as Jehoash, was a king of Judah who reigned from approximately 835 to 796 BC. His reign is noted for the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem. The synchronization of reigns between the kings of Judah and Israel helps establish a chronological framework for the events described in the books of Kings.<p><b>Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel</b><br>Jehoash, also referred to as Joash in some translations, was the son of Jehoahaz and became king of the northern kingdom of Israel. His ascension to the throne marks a continuation of the Jehu dynasty, which was characterized by a mixture of political stability and spiritual decline. The name Jehoash means "Yahweh has given," reflecting the theophoric element common in Hebrew names, indicating a cultural emphasis on divine providence.<p><b>in Samaria</b><br>Samaria was the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel, established by King Omri. It served as the political and religious center of the northern kingdom. Archaeological excavations have uncovered significant findings in Samaria, including ivory carvings and inscriptions, which provide insight into the wealth and cultural influences of the period. The city's strategic location made it a focal point for trade and military campaigns.<p><b>and he reigned sixteen years</b><br>Jehoash's sixteen-year reign is noted for its military engagements and interactions with the prophet Elisha. His reign is marked by a partial recovery of Israel's fortunes, as he was able to reclaim some territories lost to the Arameans. The duration of his reign suggests a period of relative stability, although the spiritual state of the nation continued to decline, as indicated by the ongoing worship of golden calves and other idolatrous practices.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joash.htm">Joash (King of Judah)</a></b><br>The king of Judah during whose reign Jehoash became king of Israel.

The writer passes from the reign of Jehoahaz, Jehu's son, to that of Joash, Jehu's grandson, which he seems to have intended at first to dispatch in the short space of four verses (vers. 10-13). He afterwards, however, saw reason to add to his narrative, first, an account of an interview between Joash and Elisha, shortly Before the death of the latter (vers. 14-19); secondly, an account of a miracle wrought soon afterwards by means of Elisha's corpse (vers. 20, 21); and thirdly, a brief notice of Joash's Syrian war (vers. 22-25). <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">In the thirty and seventh year of Joash King of Judah.</span> Three years before his death, since he reigned forty years (<a href="/2_kings/12-1.htm">2 Kings 12:1</a>).

Our translators again amend the faulty phrase by introducing the words "and reigned" The "sixteen years" of the reign of Joash are confirmed by Josephus ('Ant. Jud.,' 9:8. § 6), but still present some difficulty (see the comment on 2 Kings 14:23). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/2_kings/13-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">In the thirty-seventh</span><br /><span class="heb">שְׁלֹשִׁ֤ים</span> <span class="translit">(šə·lō·šîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number -
