But the rest of the acts of Joas, which he did, and his valour, wherewith he fought against Amasias king of Juda, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
For Josachar the son of Semaath, and Jozabad the son of Somer, his servants, struck him; and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.
