25 And when they withdrew from him (for they left him severely wounded*), his own servants conspired against him because he had shed the blood of the sons* of Je·hoiʹa·da+ the priest. They killed him on his own bed.+ So he died and they buried him in the City of David,+ but they did not bury him in the burial places of the kings.+

26 These were the conspirators+ against him: Zaʹbad the son of Shimʹe·ath the Amʹmon·it·ess and Je·hozʹa·bad the son of Shimʹrith the Moʹab·i·tess.

27 From the time that Am·a·ziʹah turned away from following Jehovah, they formed a conspiracy+ against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Laʹchish, but they sent men after him to Laʹchish and put him to death there.
