Concise Bible Dictionary:

1. Son of Jehoash, or Joash, king of Judah, and who succeeded to the throne: he reigned 29 years (B.C. 839-810). He walked well at the commencement of his reign. He made war on the Edomites; 10,000 were slain, and 10,000 cast down from the top of the rock. But he brought back the gods of the children of Seir, and bowed down to them, whereby he fell under God’s displeasure. He provoked a war with the king of Israel but was defeated, the treasures of Jerusalem were taken, and part of the city wall broken down. He was slain at Lachish whither he had fled from a conspiracy ({vi 9898-9920}2 Kings 14:1-23; {vi 11706-11733}2 Chron. 25:1-28).
