2 Chronicles 24:24-27
24:24 Even though the invading Syrian army was relatively weak, the
Lord handed over to them Judah’s very large army,
for the people of Judah
had abandoned the
Lord God of their ancestors. The Syrians
gave Joash what he deserved.
24:25 When they withdrew, they left Joash
badly wounded. His servants plotted against him because of what he had done to
the son
of Jehoiada the priest. They murdered him on his bed. Thus
he died and was buried in the City of David,
but not in the tombs of the kings.
24:26 The conspirators were Zabad son of Shimeath (an Ammonite woman) and Jehozabad son of Shimrith (a Moabite woman).
24:27 The list of Joash’s 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. His son Amaziah replaced him as king.
