2 Chronicles 24:23-27 (Listen)

Joash Assassinated

23 At the end of the year zthe army of the Syrians came up against Joash. They came to Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus. 24 Though the army of the Syrians had come with few men, athe Lord delivered into their hand a very great army, vbecause Judah1 had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers. Thus they bexecuted judgment on Joash.

25 When they had departed from him, leaving him cseverely wounded, dhis servants conspired against him because of the blood of ethe son2 of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died, and they buried him in the city of David, fbut they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings. 26 Those who conspired against him were Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonite, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabite. 27 Accounts of his sons and of the many oracles against him and of gthe rebuilding3 of the house of God are written in the hStory of the Book of the Kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
