2 Chronicles 24:25

25 And when they were departed from him (for they left him in great diseases), his own slaves conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada, the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings.

2 Chronicles 24:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:25

And when they were departed from him
Having got what wealth and spoil they could:

for they left him in great diseases;
through the wounds they gave him, and the distress they brought him into:

his own servants conspired against him, for the blood of the sons of
Jehoiada the priest;
for perhaps more than one was slain at the same time; the rest vindicating the cause of their brother, shared the same fate; or the plural is put for the singular:

and slew him on his bed;
in the house of Millo, where he lay ill of his wounds, and sick of his diseases, and could not defend himself:

and he died:
of the wounds his servants gave him:

and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in
the sepulchres of the kings;
see ( 2 Kings 12:21 ) .

2 Chronicles 24:25 In-Context

23 And at the end of the year, the host of Syria came up against him, and they came to Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.

24 For even though the army of the Syrians had come with a small company of men, the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgments against Joash.

25 And when they were departed from him (for they left him in great diseases), his own slaves conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada, the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings.

26 Those that conspired against him were Zabad, the son of Shimeath, an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad, the son of Shimrith, a Moabitess.

27 Now concerning his sons, and of the multiplication that he did of the taxes and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his stead.
