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.
2 Chronicles 24:25 — KJV
When they were departed. Joash kept the invading army of Syrians from sacking Jerusalem itself by sending Hazael the treasures of both Temple and palace (2 Kings 12:18).
Great diseases. Joash had probably been seriously wounded by the Syrians.
Sons of Jehoiada. It seems that other sons of Jehoiada may have been involved in the fate of Zechariah.
Slew him on his bed. This was in the house of Millo (2 Kings 12:20). Millo was probably a strong fortified area in the City of David. David (2 Sam. 5:9; 1 Chron. 11:8) and Solomon (1 Kings 11:27) had worked on Millo.
Sepulchres of the kings. Joash, who had begun his reign with such great promise, was refused the honor of burial in the royal sepulchers. Compare ch. 21:20, which states that Jehoram likewise was refused burial in the sepulchers of the kings because of his evil deeds.
