To: Hebrews 11:6
"Treason!"

"Get her out of here."

In the account in Chrnoicles (which I should get to in my reading in a week or so), Joash doesn't end well, alas.

Unhappily, I cannot show Joash’s later life here, because artists were uninterested.

Yes, it's a little disappointing considering the dramatic circumstances of his ascension to the throne. It was the fate of many a Davidic king. Almost none would measure up to the first king, David himself. Even though David wasn't perfect, he was sincere in his repentance and ended up finishing strong. That should be the goal for all of us: to not be discouraged by our sins, but always begin again to draw close to God so that at our end (which may come any time) he may find us ready to meet him.
