2 Chronicles 24:23-27
English Standard Version
Joash Assassinated
23 At the end of the year (A)the 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, (B)the Lord delivered into their hand a very great army, (C)because Judah[a] had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers. Thus they (D)executed judgment on Joash.
25 When they had departed from him, leaving him (E)severely wounded, (F)his servants conspired against him because of the blood of (G)the son[b] of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died, and they buried him in the city of David, (H)but 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 (I)the rebuilding[c] of the house of God are written in the (J)Story[d] of the Book of the Kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

Aramean Invasion of Judah
23 At the turn of the year, an Aramean army went to war against Joash.(A) They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people among them and sent all the plunder to the king of Damascus. 24 Although the Aramean army came with only a few men, the Lord handed over(B) a vast army to them because the people of Judah had abandoned(C) Yahweh, the God of their ancestors. So they executed judgment on Joash.
Joash Assassinated
25 When(D) the Arameans saw that Joash had many wounds, they left him. His servants conspired against him, and killed him on his bed, because he had shed the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest. So he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.(E)
26 Those who conspired against him were Zabad, son of the Ammonite woman Shimeath, and Jehozabad, son of the Moabite woman Shimrith.[a](F) 27 Concerning his sons, the many oracles about him, and the restoration(G) of the Lord’s temple, they are recorded in the Writing(H) of the Book of the Kings. His son Amaziah became king in his place.
