2 Chronicles 24:23-25

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.
