But they sent assassins after him[c] and they killed him there. 28 His body was carried back by horses,[d] and he was buried with his ancestors[e] in the City of David.[f]

And he fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there. 28 And they carried him on the horses and buried him with his ancestors[a] in the city of Judah.
