2 Chronicles 24:25-27

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Joash Assassinated

²⁵ When^(A) the Arameans saw that Joash had many wounds, they left him. His servants conspired against him, and killed him on his bed, because he had shed the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest. So he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.^(B)

²⁶ Those who conspired against him were Zabad, son of the Ammonite woman Shimeath, and Jehozabad, son of the Moabite woman Shimrith.^{[a](C) 27} Concerning his sons, the many oracles about him, and the restoration^(D) of the Lord’s temple, they are recorded in the Writing^(E) of the Book of the Kings. His son Amaziah became king in his place.
