Jehoash (Hebrew: יְהוֹאָשׁ Yəhō’āš or[1] יוֹאָשׁ Yō’āš; Israelian Hebrew: 𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤅 *’Āšīyāw;[2] Akkadian: 𒅀𒀪𒋢 Yaʾsu [ia-'-su]; Latin: Joas; fl. c. 790 BC), whose name means "Yahweh has given,"[3] was the twelfth king of the ancient northern Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) and the son of Jehoahaz.[4] He was the 12th king of Israel and reigned for 16 years. William F. Albright has dated his reign to 801–786 BC, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 798–782 BC.[5] When he ascended the throne, the Kingdom of Israel was suffering from the predations of the Arameans, whose king Hazael was conquering land controlled by Israel.
