2 Chronicles 24:25

Context
24:25 When they withdrew, they left Joash 5  badly wounded. His servants plotted against him because of what he had done to 6  the son 7  of Jehoiada the priest. They murdered him on his bed. Thus 8  he died and was buried in the City of David, 9  but not in the tombs of the kings.

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tc Most Hebrew mss read “Azariah.” A few Hebrew mss, the LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac read “Ahaziah” (cf. 2 Kgs 8:29).

4 tn Heb “because he was sick,” presumably referring to the wounds he received in the battle with the Syrians.

5 tn Heb “him”; the referent (Joash) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

6 tn Heb “because of the shed blood of.”

7 tc The MT has the plural בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons”), but the final yod is dittographic. Note the yod that immediately follows.

8 tn Heb “and he died.”

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