2 Chronicles 24:22-27 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

22. Thus Yo’ash the sovereign did not remember the kindness which Yehoyaḏa his father had done to him, and slew his son. And as he died, he said, “יהוה does see, and repay!”

23. And it came to be, at the turn of the year, that the army of Aram came up against him. And they came into Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim, and destroyed all the rulers of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the sovereign of Darmeseq.

24. For the army of Aram came with few men, but יהוה gave a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken יהוה Elohim of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Yo’ash.

25. And when they had withdrawn from him – for they left him very sick – his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the sons of Yehoyaḏa the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died. And they buried him in the City of Dawiḏ, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the sovereigns.

26. And these are the ones who conspired against him: Zaḇaḏ the son of Shim‛ath the Ammonitess, and Yehozaḇaḏ the son of Shimrith the Mo’aḇitess.

27. As to his sons, and the many words about him, and the rebuilding of the House of Elohim, see, they are written in the commentary of the book of the sovereigns. And Amatsyahu his son reigned in his place.
