^24:25When they withdrew, they left Joash³⁴ badly wounded. His servants plotted against him because of what he had done to³⁵ the son³⁶ of Jehoiada the priest. They murdered him on his bed. Thus³⁷ he died and was buried in the City of David,³⁸ but not in the tombs of the kings. ^24:26The conspirators were Zabad son of Shimeath (an Ammonite woman) and Jehozabad son of Shimrith (a Moabite woman).

^24:27The list of Joash’s³⁹ sons, the many prophetic oracles pertaining to him, and the account of his building project on God’s temple are included in the record of the Scroll of the Kings.⁴⁰ His son Amaziah replaced him as king.

So they killed him on his bed and he died. And they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him at the burial sites of the kings. Now these are the ones who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath, the Ammonite, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith, the Moabite.

And Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

KJV 1900King James Version

And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings. And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess. Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
