2 Chronicles 24:25

25 After they had left him - and they left him seriously wounded - his own servants conspired against him because he had shed the blood of the sons of Y'hoyada the cohen; and they killed him in his own bed. After he died, they buried him in the City of David, but they didn't bury him in the tombs 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 The following spring, the army of Aram came up against him. They attacked Y'hudah and Yerushalayim, slaughtered all the people's leaders and sent all their spoil to the king of Dammesek.

24 Although the army of Aram attacked with only a small company of men, ADONAI handed over a very great army to them, because they had abandoned ADONAI the God of their ancestors. Thus they executed judgment against Yo'ash.

25 After they had left him - and they left him seriously wounded - his own servants conspired against him because he had shed the blood of the sons of Y'hoyada the cohen; and they killed him in his own bed. After he died, they buried him in the City of David, but they didn't bury him in the tombs of the kings.

26 Those who conspired against him were Zavad the son of Shim'at the 'Amonit and Y'hozavad the son of Shimrit the Mo'avit.

27 As for his sons, the heavy tribute imposed on him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, they are recorded in the commentary of the Annals of the Kings. Then Amatzyahu his son took his place as king.
