Idols were banished, and the temple was repaired. But afterward he followed less wholesome counsels; idolatry revived; and when Zechariah, the high priest rebuked the guilty people, the ungrateful king caused this servant of God, the son of his benefactor, to be stoned to death. Misfortunes soon multiplied on his head; he was repeatedly humbled by the Syrians, and gave them the temple treasures as a ransom; a loathsome disease imbittered his life, which was soon cut short by a conspiracy of his servants, and he was not buried in the sepulcher of the kings (II Kin. xi, xii; II Chr. xxiii: xxiv). The prophet Joel was contemporary with him. He died in B. c. 838.
Joash the son and the successor of Jehoahaz
Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)
the son and the successor of Jehoahaz, King of Israel. There was much in his conduct to commend. He had a great regard for the prophet Elisha, and visited him on his death bed, where by a divine oracle he was assured of three victories over the Syrians. He was also victorious when forced to give battle to Amaziah, King of Judah, and was one of the best kings of Israel. (II Kin. xiii: 9-25; xiv: 1-8; II Chr. xxv.)
What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's 1921 retelling of both kings follows 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles closely, and the biblical narrative it summarises is unaltered; what has moved is the dating and the outside evidence. The precise regnal figures given here — Joash of Judah born 878 B.C., dead in 838 — have been replaced by modern reconstructions putting his reign around 835–796 B.C. and his Israelite namesake Jehoash around 798–782 B.C. Since 1921 the northern Joash has gained the kind of confirmation Collier's could not offer: a stele of the Assyrian king Adad-nirari III, recovered at Tell al-Rimah in Iraq in 1967, records tribute from "Ia'asu the Samarian." A stone tablet surfacing in 2001 that purported to describe the very temple repairs of 2 Kings 12 was denounced as a modern forgery by Israeli antiquities officials and is rejected by most scholars.
