2 Chronicles 24:25-27
New English Translation

25 When they withdrew, they left Joash[a] badly wounded. His servants plotted against him because of what he had done to[b] the son[c] of Jehoiada the priest. They murdered him on his bed. Thus[d] he died and was buried in the City of David,[e] but not in the tombs of the kings. 26 The conspirators were Zabad son of Shimeath (an Ammonite woman) and Jehozabad son of Shimrith (a Moabite woman).

27 The list of Joash’s[f] sons, the many prophetic oracles about him, and the account of his building project on God’s temple are included in the record of the Scroll of the Kings.[g] His son Amaziah replaced him as king.
