2 Chronicles 24:25

25 And in their going from him -- for they left him with many diseases -- his servants themselves have conspired against him, for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slay him on his bed, and he dieth; and they bury him in the city of David, and have not buried him in the graves 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 it cometh to pass, at the turn of the year, come up hath the force of Aram against him, and they come in unto Judah and Jerusalem, and destroy all the heads of the people from the people, and all their spoil they have sent to the king of Damascus,

24 for with few men have the force of Aram come in, and Jehovah hath given into their hand a mighty force for multitude, because they have forsaken Jehovah, God of their fathers; and with Joash they have executed judgments.

25 And in their going from him -- for they left him with many diseases -- his servants themselves have conspired against him, for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slay him on his bed, and he dieth; and they bury him in the city of David, and have not buried him in the graves 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 As to his sons, and the greatness of the burden upon him, and the foundation of the house of God, lo, they are written on the `Inquiry' of the book of the Kings; and reign doth Amaziah his son in his stead.
