2 Chronicles 24:23–27

Death of Joash

²³So it happened in the spring of the year that ^vthe army of Syria came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their ³spoil to the king of Damascus. ²⁴For the army of the Syrians ^wcame with a small company of men; but the Lord ^xdelivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. So they ^yexecuted judgment against Joash. ²⁵And when they had withdrawn from him (for they left him severely wounded), ^zhis own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the ⁴sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

²⁶These are the ones who conspired against him: ⁵Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of ⁶Shimrith the Moabitess. ²⁷Now concerning his sons, and ^athe many oracles about him, and the repairing of the house of God, indeed they are written in the ⁷annals of the book of the kings. ^bThen Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
