Jehoash or Joas (in Douay-Rheims) (Hebrew: יוֹאָשׁ or יהואש המלך‎, "Jehovah-given"; Greek: Ιωας; Latin: Joas; fl. c. 800 BC), sometimes written Joash or Joas, was the king of the ancient Kingdom of Judah, and sole surviving son of Ahaziah. William F. Albright has dated his reign to 837 – 800 BC, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 835 – 796 BC. He is one of the four kings omitted by Matthew (1:8) in the genealogy of Jesus, the other three being Ahaziah, Amaziah, and Jehoiakim. However, his killing of Zechariah ben Jehoiada is referred to in Matthew 23:35.
