23 And it came to pass at the coming around of the year that the army of Aram came up against him, and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and they destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and all the plunder they sent to the king of Damascus. 24 For with a small company of men the army of Aram came, and YHWH delivered into their hands an exceedingly great force, because they had forsaken YHWH, God of their fathers. And against Joash they executed judgment. 25 And in their going from him—for they left him severely wounded—his own servants conspired against him on account of the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him on his bed, and he died. And they buried him in the City of David, and they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings. 26 And these are those conspiring against him: Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess. 27 And his sons, and the many oracles about him, and the repairing of the house of God, indeed they are written in the Treatise of the Book of the Kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his place. 2 Chronicles 24:23-27, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
