2 Chronicles 24:25

When they withdrew, they left Joash ¹  badly wounded. His servants plotted against him because of what he had done to ²  the son ³  of Jehoiada the priest. They murdered him on his bed. Thus ⁴  he died and was buried in the City of David, ⁵  but not in the tombs of the kings.

2Ki 12:20; 2Ki 14:19,20; 2Ch 21:16,18,19; 2Ch 21:20; 2Ch 22:6; 2Ch 24:16; 2Ch 24:21,22; 2Ch 28:27; Ps 10:14; Re 16:6

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

² tn Heb “because of the shed blood of.”

³ tc The MT has the plural בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons”), but the final yod is dittographic. Note the yod that immediately follows.

⁴ tn Heb “and he died.”

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