2Ki 13:10-13 | MHM | STEP | The Reign of Joash, King of Israel. This section tells about Joash (also called Jehoash), the son of Jehoahaz, who became king of Israel. His reign is described as similar to other kings before him. Although he was not the worst king, he continued the sin of idol worship started by Jeroboam. The most important part of his story is his meeting with the prophet Elisha, which teaches us about faith, obedience, and the importance of honoring God’s servants. v. 10-13 : Joash became king of Israel and ruled for sixteen years. He did evil in the sight of the Lord because he kept the idol worship of Jeroboam. Even if people thought this was a small thing, God saw it as very serious. The Bible does not record many of Joash’s achievements, except for the respect he showed to Elisha. God values honoring His prophets more than military victories or great deeds (2 Kings 13:10-13 ).
