There are two kings Joash (with minor spelling variants) in The Bible; one was the king of Israel and the other was a king of Judah at about the same time. The Book of Kings was written in Judah, so all the kings of Israel, including Joash, are portrayed in a negative light. King Joash of Judah is also portrayed somewhat negatively because like all his predecessors he was polytheistic.
Some historians believe, on substantive grounds, the two kings might have been the same person, reflecting a time when Judah might have been ruled by Israel, but if so this would have been wiped from the record by the Judahite scribes.
