Joash (Jehoash) is the name of two kings in Israel. Joash means the Lord supports.

Joash is the son of Ahaziah and Ziblah. He was the eighth king of Judah. He began to reign at seven years of age, and he reigned for 40 years. After Ahaziah, Joash's father, died, Joash's grandmother, Athaliah, attempted to kill all of the heirs to the throne, but Joash was hidden for six years by his aunt. At the beginning of his kingship, he was a good king, but he was an evil and bitter man at the end of his kingship. One of his servants murdered him.
Joash is the son and successor of king Jehoahaz, king of Israel. He was the thirteenth king to reign for over the ten northern tribes, and he reigned for 16 years and was an evil king.
