2 Chronicles 24:25

25 And departing they left him in great diseases: and his servants rose up against him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not 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 when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, and killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.

24 And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments.

25 And departing they left him in great diseases: and his servants rose up against him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.

26 Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess.

27 And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God, they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
