1 요아스는 일곱살에 왕위에 올라 예루살렘에서 40년간 다스렸다. 그의 어머니는 브엘세바태생으로 이름을 시비야라고 하였다.2 요아스는 제사장 여호야다의 생전에는 바른 정치를 펴서 여호와의 눈에 들었다.
2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.2 And Jehoash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all his days, because Jehoiada the priest instructed him.3 Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away; the people continued to sacrifice and make offerings on the high places.
