Joash, also known as Jehoash, was a king of Judah who began his reign as a child after being hidden from Athaliah's massacre. His reign is noted for the restoration of the temple in Jerusalem (<a href="/2_kings/12-4.htm">2 Kings 12:4-16</a>). The mention of Joash's reign provides a timeline for Jehoahaz's ascension in Israel, highlighting the divided kingdom period when Israel and Judah were separate entities. This division followed the reign of Solomon and was a result of the people's rebellion and God's judgment (<a href="/1_kings/11-11.htm">1 Kings 11:11-13</a>).<p><b>Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king of Israel</b><br>Jehoahaz was the son of Jehu, who was anointed by the prophet Elisha to destroy the house of Ahab and eradicate Baal worship from Israel (2 Kings 9-10). Jehu's dynasty was promised a four-generation rule over Israel as a reward for his zeal (<a href="/2_kings/10-30.htm">2 Kings 10:30</a>). Jehoahaz's reign is marked by continued idolatry and oppression by the Arameans, reflecting the spiritual decline of Israel despite Jehu's initial reforms. This highlights the recurring theme of Israel's unfaithfulness and the consequences of turning away from God.<p><b>and he reigned in Samaria seventeen years</b><br>Samaria was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, established by Omri (<a href="/1_kings/16-24.htm">1 Kings 16:24</a>). It served as the political and religious center of the northern tribes. Jehoahaz's seventeen-year reign in Samaria was characterized by military defeats and subjugation by Hazael and Ben-Hadad of Aram (<a href="/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3</a>). This period of oppression was a direct result of Israel's idolatry and disobedience to God's covenant. The mention of Samaria also foreshadows its eventual fall to the Assyrians in 722 BC, as prophesied by Amos and Hosea, due to persistent sin and rebellion.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joash.htm">Joash (Jehoash) son of Ahaziah</a></b><br>King of Judah during the time Jehoahaz became king of Israel.
