Thematic Bible: Jozachar and jozabad

The rest of the history of Jehoash is recorded in The Annals of the Kings of Judah. His own officials plotted against him and killed him at the House of the Mound on the road that goes down to Silla. Jehoash's officials Jozacar, son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, son of Shomer, executed him. They buried him with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Amaziah succeeded him as king.

As soon as he firmly established the kingdom he immediately put to death those servants who had taken the life of his father, the king.
