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.

Death of Joash
23 At the end of the year, the army of Aram came up against Joash. They came to Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the officials of the people from among them and sent all the spoil they took to the king of Damascus.(A) 24 Although the army of Aram had come with few men, the Lord delivered into their hand a very great army because they had abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors. Thus they executed judgment on Joash.(B)
25 When they had withdrawn, leaving him severely wounded, his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son[a] of the priest Jehoiada, and they killed him on his bed.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.(C) 26 Those who conspired against him were Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonite and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabite. 27 Accounts of his sons, and of the many oracles against him, and of the rebuilding[b] of the house of God are written in the Commentary on the Book of the Kings. And his son Amaziah succeeded him.(D)
