2 Chronicles 24:23-25

International Standard Version

The Death of Joash^(A)

²³ At the end of that year, the Aramean army attacked Joash. They invaded Judah and Jerusalem, destroyed every senior official among the people, and sent all of their possessions to the king of Damascus. ²⁴ The Aramean army attacked with only a small force, but the Lord delivered a much larger army into their control because Judah^[a] had abandoned the Lord God of their ancestors. And so the Aramean army carried out God’s^[b] judgment on Joash. ²⁵ After the Arameans left him very sick, Joash’s^[c] own servants conspired against him because Joash^[d] had murdered Jehoiada the priest’s son, and they killed him on his sick bed.
