2 Chronicles 24:25

Easy To Read Version

When the Arameans left Joash, he was badly wounded. Joash’s own servants made plans against him. They did this because Joash killed Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest. The servants killed Joash on his own bed. After Joash died, the people buried him in David’s City. But they didn’t bury him in the place where the kings are buried.
