2 Kings 12:21Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read VersionJozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer were Joash’s officers. These men killed Joash. The people buried Joash with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Amaziah became the new king after him. See the chapter |
When the Arameans left Joash, he was badly wounded. His 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 he died, the people buried him in the City of David, but not in the place where the kings are buried.
