²⁵ And when they had withdrawn from him (for they left him severely wounded), ^(A)his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the ^[a]sons of Jehoiada the priest, and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.

²⁷ So Ahaz ^[a]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they ^(A)did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. Then Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

²¹ So they conspired against him, and at the command of the king they ^(A)stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord. ²² Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his ^[a]father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said, “The Lord look on it, and ^(B)repay!”

¹⁶ And they buried him in the City of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and His house.

^6 (A)Then he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And ^[a]Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

¹⁸ After all this the Lord struck him ^(A)in his intestines with an incurable disease. ¹⁹ Then it happened in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness; so he died in severe pain. And his people made no ^[a]burning for him, like ^(B)the burning for his fathers.

²⁰ He was thirty-two years old when he became king. He reigned in Jerusalem eight years and, to no one’s sorrow, departed. However they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

¹⁶ Moreover the ^(A)Lord ^(B)stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and the ^(C)Arabians who were near the Ethiopians.
