2 Kings 11:21 יְהוֹאָ֥שׁ Jehoash

Joash was seven years old when he became king.

2 Kings 12:1 יְהוֹאָ֔שׁ Jehoash

In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.

Here: The full form of the name, which also appears shortened as Joash. The name contains God's name Yahweh. Its second part is uncertain. It is often explained as 'Yahweh has given'.

2 Kings 12:2 יְהוֹאָ֧שׁ Jehoash

And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he was instructed by Jehoiada the priest.

2 Kings 12:4 יְהוֹאָ֜שׁ Jehoash

Then Joash said to the priests, “Collect all the money brought as sacred gifts into the house of the LORD—the census money, the money from vows, and the money brought voluntarily into the house of the LORD.

Here: The king of Judah (reigned about 835–796 BC). As a baby he was hidden in the temple from Queen Athaliah, then put on the throne by the priest Jehoiada (2 Kings 11). His name means “YHWH has given” or “YHWH is strong.” The full form Jehoash and the short form Joash are the same name.

2 Kings 12:6 יְהוֹאָ֑שׁ Jehoash

By the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, however, the priests had not yet repaired the damage to the temple.

2 Kings 12:7 יְהוֹאָ֜שׁ Jehoash

So King Joash called Jehoiada and the other priests and said, “Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, therefore, take no more money from your constituency, but hand it over for the repair of the temple.”

2 Kings 12:18 יְהוֹאָ֣שׁ Jehoash

So King Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers—Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah—along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. So Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.

2 Kings 13:10 יְהוֹאָ֨שׁ Jehoash

In the thirty-seventh year of the reign of Joash over Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years.

2 Kings 13:25 יְהוֹאָ֣שׁ Jehoash

Then Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben-hadad son of Hazael the cities that Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recovered the cities of Israel.

2 Kings 14:8 יְהוֹאָ֨שׁ Jehoash

Then Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.

2 Kings 14:9 יְהוֹאָ֣שׁ Jehoash

But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.

2 Kings 14:11 יְהוֹאָ֤שׁ Jehoash

But Amaziah would not listen, so Jehoash king of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.

2 Kings 14:13 יְהוֹאָ֣שׁ יְהוֹאָ֥שׁ Jehoash

There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.

2 Kings 14:15 יְהוֹאָ֜שׁ Jehoash

As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with his accomplishments, his might, and how he waged war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

2 Kings 14:16 יְהוֹאָשׁ֙ Jehoash

And Jehoash rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place.

2 Kings 14:17 יְהוֹאָ֥שׁ Jehoash

Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
