Aram Invades and Defeats Judah

²³Now it happened at the turn of the year that ^(A)the army of the Arameans came up against Joash; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, destroyed all the officials of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoils to the king of Damascus. ²⁴Indeed, the army of the Arameans came with a small number of men; yet ^(B)the Lord handed a very great army over to them, ^(C)because ^[a]Judah and Joash had abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.

²⁵^(D)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. ²⁶Now these are the men who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess. ²⁷As to his sons and the many pronouncements against him and ^(E)the ^[c]rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the ^[d]^(F)treatise of the Book of the Kings. Then his son Amaziah became king in his place.

The Death of Joash^(A)

²³At the end of that year, the Aramean army attacked Joash. They invaded Judah and Jerusalem, destroyed every senior official among the people, and sent all of their possessions to the king of Damascus. ²⁴The Aramean army attacked with only a small force, but the Lord delivered a much larger army into their control because Judah^[a] had abandoned the Lord God of their ancestors. And so the Aramean army carried out God’s^[b] judgment on Joash. ²⁵After the Arameans left him very sick, Joash’s^[c] own servants conspired against him because Joash^[d] had murdered Jehoiada the priest’s son, and they killed him on his sick bed. ²⁶The conspirators included Shimeath the Ammonite’s son Zabad and Shimrith the Moabite’s son Jehozabad. ²⁷Records concerning his sons, the various prophetic statements rebuking him, and records of the reconstruction work on God’s Temple are written in the Midrash^[e] of the Book of the Kings. Joash’s^[f] son Amaziah reigned in his place.
