2 Chronicles 24:23-24

Aramean Invasion of Judah

23 At the turn of the year, an Aramean army went to war against Joash.^[a] They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people among them and sent all the plunder to the king of Damascus.

24 Although the Aramean army came with only a few men, the Lord handed over a vast army to them because the people of Judah had abandoned the Lord God of their ancestors. So they executed judgment on Joash.
