AMP Footnotes
Judah and Israel each had a king named Joash or Jehoash, and the Hebrew uses the two forms of the name interchangeably. Since the times of their reigns overlapped, it is easy to confuse them. The same potential confusion exists with the name Joram/Jehoram.
Lit set his face.
Joash was responsible for the murder of the high priest Zechariah the son of Jehoiada.
