The name Jehoash is here spelled Joash in the Hebrew text. However, it is spelled as Jehoash in 13:10b. In order to help your readers follow the story, it is recommended that the name of the king of Israel always be spelled as Jehoash. It is probably best to use the spelling Joash only for the name of the king of Judah (13:10a).

His son Jehoash became the next king.

-or-

Then/And Jehoash his son reigned/ruled in his place.
