2 Chronicles 25:27-28

25:27 From the time Amaziah turned from following the Lord, conspirators plotted against him in Jerusalem, so he fled to Lachish. But they sent assassins after him and they killed him there. 25:28 His body was carried back by horses, and he was buried in Jerusalem with his ancestors in the City of David.


tn Heb “and they conspired against him [with] a conspiracy in Jerusalem.”

tn Heb “and they sent after him to Lachish.”

tn Heb “and they carried him on horses.”

tn Heb “fathers.”

tc The Hebrew text has “Judah,” but some medieval mss read “David,” as does the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 14:20.

sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
