2 Chronicles 24:23-27
New American Standard Bible
Aram Invades and Defeats Judah
23 Now 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. 24 Indeed, 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. 26 Now these are the men who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess. 27 As 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.

2 Chronicles 24:23-27
American Standard Version
23 And it came to pass at the [a]end of the year, that the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus. 24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and Jehovah delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah, the God of their fathers. So they executed [b]judgment upon Joash.
25 And when they were departed from him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the [c]sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings. 26 And these are they that conspired against him: [d]Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of [e]Shimrith the Moabitess. 27 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [f]laid upon him, and the [g]rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
