Quick answer
Jehoash dies and is buried in Samaria with Israel's kings, and his son Jeroboam II succeeds him.
Overview
The death-and-succession formula again marks the orderly continuance of Jehu's dynasty, as God had promised (10:30). Jeroboam II's accession introduces the king under whom Israel will enjoy its greatest territorial extent, yet without spiritual renewal. The transition shows God sovereignly directing the affairs of kings to fulfill His word.
