Authorized (King James) Version
19 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 20 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla. 21 For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

Death of Joash(A)
19 Now the rest of the acts of [a]Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 And (B)his servants arose and formed a conspiracy, and killed Joash in the house of [b]the Millo, which goes down to Silla. 21 For [c]Jozachar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of [d]Shomer, his servants, struck him. So he died, and they buried him with his fathers in the City of David. Then (C)Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
