2 Kings 12:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 And [a]Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Aram, and he departed from Jerusalem.
19 Concerning the rest of the acts of Joash and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 ¶ And his servants arose and wrought treason, and [b]slew Joash in the house of [c]Millo, when he came down to Silla.
