2 Chronicles 24:23-27
New English Translation

23 At the beginning[a] of the year the Syrian army attacked[b] Joash[c] and invaded Judah and Jerusalem. They wiped out all the leaders of the people and sent all the plunder they gathered to the king of Damascus. 24 Even though the invading Syrian army was relatively weak, the Lord handed over to them Judah’s very large army,[d] for the people of Judah[e] had abandoned the Lord God of their ancestors. The Syrians[f] gave Joash what he deserved.[g] 25 When they withdrew, they left Joash[h] badly wounded. His servants plotted against him because of what he had done to[i] the son[j] of Jehoiada the priest. They murdered him on his bed. Thus[k] he died and was buried in the City of David,[l] but not in the tombs of the kings. 26 The conspirators were Zabad son of Shimeath (an Ammonite woman) and Jehozabad son of Shimrith (a Moabite woman).

27 The list of Joash’s[m] sons, the many prophetic oracles about him, and the account of his building project on God’s temple are included in the record of the Scroll of the Kings.[n] His son Amaziah replaced him as king.

Aram Comes Up Against Judah

23 Now it happened at the turn of the year that (A)the military force of the Arameans came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, destroyed all the officials of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus. 24 Indeed the military force of the Arameans came with a small number of men; yet (B)Yahweh gave a very great military force into their hands, (C)because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers. Thus they executed judgment on Joash.

25 (D)When they had gone from him (for they left him very sick), his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the [a]son 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 Now these are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess. 27 Now as to his sons and the many [b]oracles 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 Amaziah his son became king in his place.
