Jehoash did right in the sight of the LORD all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

Only the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
The Temple to Be Repaired
Then Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the sacred things which is brought into the house of the LORD, in current money, both the money of each man’s assessment and all the money which any man’s heart prompts him to bring into the house of the LORD,
let the priests take it for themselves, each from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the damages of the house wherever any damage may be found.”
But it came about that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damages of the house.
Now it was so, by the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, that the priests had not repaired the damages of the temple.
Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests and said to them, “Why do you not repair the damages of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your acquaintances, but pay it for the damages of the house.”
So King Jehoash called Jehoiada the priest and the other priests, and said to them, “Why have you not repaired the damages of the temple? Now therefore, do not take more money from your constituency, but deliver it for repairing the damages of the temple.”
So the priests agreed that they would take no more money from the people, nor repair the damages of the house.
And the priests agreed that they would neither receive more money from the people, nor repair the damages of the temple.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid and put it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of the LORD; and the priests who guarded the threshold put in it all the money which was brought into the house of the LORD.
When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up and tied it in bags and counted the money which was found in the house of the LORD.
They gave the money which was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the house of the LORD;
and to the masons and the stonecutters, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the damages to the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
and to masons and stonecutters, and for buying timber and hewn stone, to repair the damage of the house of the Lord, and for all that was paid out to repair the temple.
But there were not made for the house of the LORD silver cups, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver from the money which was brought into the house of the LORD;
However there were not made for the house of the Lord basins of silver, trimmers, sprinkling-bowls, trumpets, any articles of gold or articles of silver, from the money brought into the house of the Lord.
for they gave that to those who did the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.
But they gave that to the workmen, and they repaired the house of the Lord with it.
Moreover, they did not require an accounting from the men into whose hand they gave the money to pay to those who did the work, for they dealt faithfully.

Then he went away from Jerusalem.

Then he went away from Jerusalem.
Joash (Jehoash) Succeeded by Amaziah in Judah
Now the rest of the acts of Joash and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
His servants arose and made a conspiracy and struck down Joash at the house of Millo as he was going down to Silla.
For Jozacar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Amaziah his son became king in his place.
