1. In the second year of Joas son of Joachaz, king of Israel, reigned Amasias son of Joas king of Juda.
2. He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and nine and twenty gears he reigned in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.
3. And he did that which was right before the Lord, but yet not like David his father. He did according to all things that Joas his father did:
4. But this only, that he took not away the high places: for yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
