It was Jozacar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, who struck him down, so that he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
When they had departed from him, leaving him severely wounded, his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son[5] 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.
Accounts of his sons and of the many oracles against him and of the rebuilding[6] of the house of God are written in the Story of the Book of the Kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
