2 Chronicles 24:24
They executed judgment against Joash - By defeating his army, slaying his nobles, and pressing on against Jerusalem, etc. (II Kings 12:18 note).
22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said, “The Lord look on it, and arepay!”
Death of Joash
23 So it happened in the spring of the year that athe army of Syria came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their1 spoil to the king of Damascus.
24 For the army of the Syrians acame with a small company of men; but the Lord bdelivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. So they cexecuted judgment against Joash.
25 And when they had withdrawn from him (for they left him severely wounded), ahis own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the1 sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him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 These are the ones who conspired against him:1 Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 Now concerning his sons, and athe many oracles about him, and the repairing of the house of God, indeed they are written in the1 annals of the book of the kings. bThen Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
