²⁴ Indeed, the army of the Arameans came with a small number of men; yet ^(A)the Lord handed a very great army over to them, ^(B)because ^[a]Judah and Joash had abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.

^25 (C)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.
