Jehu continues to cleanse the land of those that served Baal and the descendants of King Ahab. Jehu does succeed in removing Baal worship; but does not remove the idol worship prevalent in Israel.
Meanwhile, in Judah, Joash is established as king, much to the dismay of his grandmother Athaliah. Joash, who takes the throne at a very early age, is blessed with the opportunity to have a long reign. Because he serves the Lord, God blesses him with a long reign. He seeks to repair the house of the Lord; but after many years, no progress is made. Joash allows the people to give; and the repairs are soon made.
