Context — The Death of Joash
23In the spring, the army of Aram went to war against Joash. They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people, and they sent all the plunder to their king in Damascus.
24Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army. Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, judgment was executed on Joash.
25And when the Arameans had withdrawn, they left Joash severely wounded. His own servants conspired against him for shedding the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him on his bed. So he died and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
26Those who conspired against Joash were Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess. 27The accounts of the sons of Joash and the many pronouncements about him, and of the restoration of the house of God, are indeed written in the Treatise of the Book of the Kings. And his son Amaziah reigned in his place.Cross References

2 Chronicles 24:25 Summary
This verse tells us that King Joash was severely wounded by the Arameans and later killed by his own servants because he had done something very wrong. He had shed the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, which was a terrible sin. As a result, he was not given the honor of being buried with the other kings, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 24:25. This reminds us that our actions have consequences, and that we should always try to follow God's ways, just like it says in Proverbs 3:1-2, and that we should be mindful of the importance of humility and obedience, as seen in 1 Samuel 15:22-23.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the servants of King Joash conspire against him?
The servants of King Joash conspired against him because he had shed the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 24:25. This act of violence led to his downfall, similar to how the Bible warns against the consequences of shedding innocent blood in Deuteronomy 19:10 and Proverbs 6:17.
What does it mean that Joash was not buried in the tombs of the kings?
The fact that Joash was not buried in the tombs of the kings, as stated in 2 Chronicles 24:25, signifies that he was not considered worthy of the honor and respect given to other kings, likely due to his sinful actions, such as forsaking the Lord, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 24:24.
How does this verse relate to the overall story of King Joash?
This verse serves as a conclusion to the story of King Joash, highlighting the consequences of his actions, particularly his forsaking of the Lord, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 24:24, and his violent act against the son of Jehoiada the priest, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 24:25.
What can we learn from King Joash's death?
King Joash's death serves as a reminder of the importance of faithfulness and obedience to God, as emphasized in 1 Samuel 15:22-23, and the consequences of sin and disobedience, as seen in the downfall of many biblical leaders, including King Saul in 1 Samuel 31:4.
Reflection Questions
- How can I apply the lesson of King Joash's life to my own, remembering that my actions have consequences?
- In what ways can I prioritize my relationship with God, just as the kings of old were called to do, as seen in Deuteronomy 17:18-20?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be 'forsaking the Lord' or neglecting my faith, and how can I return to a path of obedience?
- How can I learn from King Joash's example to cultivate a heart of humility and repentance, rather than pride and rebellion?
Gill's Exposition on 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:
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 24:25
And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:25
For the blood of the sons of Jehoiada, i.e. of Zechariah his son; the plural number sons put for the singular son, as it is frequently, both in Scripture, as , and in Cicero and other profane authors. Or he might kill other sons of Jehoiada with him, either because they owned him in what he had said, or lest they should revenge his death.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:25
2 Chronicles 24:25 And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants 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 buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.Ver. 25. And when they were departed from him.] So that he had time to repent, but did not. For they left him in great diseases.] Such, perhaps, as was that of Count Felix of Wurtemburg, who threatened to ride up to the spurs in the blood of the Lutherans, but died choked in his own blood; or that of Charles IX of France, author of the Parisian massacre, who died of a like disease; or that of Ladislaus, king of Bohemia and Hungary, who most unjustly had caused Ladislaus, son to Hunniades - who had better deserved of him - to be beheaded. He afterwards died of a pestilent sore in his groin. For the blood of the sons of Jehoiada,] i.e., Of the son: called sons, say some, because he was to his father instead of many sons. Act. and Mon., 1902.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 24:25
(25) And when they were departed from him.—Omit were. The Syrians retired, instead of besieging Jerusalem, as they had purposed to do. For they left him in great diseases.—Some refer this to the wounds which Joash had received from the Syrians in battle. But it is not said that Joash himself was wounded, but only that the destruction of his princes and the defeat of his army were judgments upon him. The word rendered “diseases” (mahγlϋyξm) only occurs here; but it is obviously a near synonym of the term used of the last sickness of Jehoram (tahγlϋ’ξm, 2chron xxi, 19), and the probable meaning is “pains,” or “suffering.” Calamity may have brought about the sickness of Joash, or perhaps the invasion had come upon him when already prostrate with disease, and unable to resist in person. His own servants conspired against him.—2 Kings 12:20, “And his servants arose and made a conspiracy.” Comp. the similar circumstances in the murder of Ishbosheth (2 Samuel 4:5). For the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest.—The LXX. and Vulgate correct this, and read “son,” meaning Zechariah the prophet (2 Chronicles 24:22), and the plural may be due to a transcriber’s mistake. More probably it is used rhetorically, as in 2 Chronicles 28:16, and elsewhere. The writer does not mean to say that revenge for the death of Jehoiada’s posterity was the motive which actuated the conspirators, but that their deed was a judgment upon the king for that crime. In Kings the place of the assassination is specified, “Beth-millo that goeth down to Silla.” But nothing is there said of the sickness of Joash, and his being murdered in his bed.
But they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.—See Note on 2 Chronicles 21:20, where the same remark is made about the burial of Jehoram.
