24 Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men,(A) the Lord delivered into their hands a much larger army.(B) Because Judah had forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors, judgment was executed on Joash. 25 When the Arameans withdrew, they left Joash severely wounded. His officials conspired against him for murdering the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him in his bed. So he died and was buried(C) in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

26 Those who conspired against him were Zabad,[a] son of Shimeath an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, son of Shimrith[b](D) a Moabite woman.(E)

24 For the army of the Syrians (A)came with a small company of men; but the Lord (B)delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. So they (C)executed judgment against Joash. 25 And when they had withdrawn from him (for they left him severely wounded), (D)his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the [a]sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

26 These are the ones who conspired against him: [b]Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of [c]Shimrith the Moabitess.

24 Indeed, the army of the Arameans came with a small number of men; yet (A)the Lord handed a very great army over to them, (B)because [a]Judah and Joash had abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.

25 (C)When they left him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the [b]son of Jehoiada the priest, and they murdered him on his bed. So he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings. 26 Now these are the men who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
