Exegesis
A final coordinated clause identifies maternal lineage and origin: wə-šēm ʾimmô {וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ | wə-šēm ʾimmô} ‘and the name of his mother,’ followed by the mother’s name and the provenance phrase ‘from Beer Sheba.’ English renders the initial nominal age expression with an explicit verb (“was” / “became king”) while preserving the Hebrew emphasis on reign-length and the closing identification formula.
In context — 2 Chronicles 24:1
Joash was seven years old when he became king , and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, from Beersheba .
