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.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 24 of 2 Chronicles. The Aramean army invades Judah and defeats a larger force. Joash is seriously wounded and eventually killed by his own servants. The chronicler interprets the defeat within the framework of judgment for abandoning God. The same king who repaired the temple ends up associated with violence, idolatry, and failure.

Und da sie von ihm zogen, ließen sie ihn in großer Krankheit zurück. Es machten aber seine Knechte einen Bund wider ihn um des Blutes willen der Kinder Jojadas, des Priesters, und erwürgten ihn auf seinem Bett, und er starb. Und man begrub ihn in der Stadt Davids, aber nicht in der Könige Gräbern.
Y yéndose de él los Siros, dejáronlo en muchas enfermedades; y conspiraron contra él sus siervos a causa de las sangres de los hijos de Joiada el sacerdote, e hiriéronle en su cama, y murió: y sepultáronle en la ciudad de David, mas no lo sepultaron en los sepulcros de los reyes.
Cuando se retiraron, dejándolo con graves dolencias, sus siervos conspiraron contra él por la sangre de los hijos del sacerdote Joiada. Lo mataron en su cama, y murió. Lo sepultaron en la Ciudad de David, pero no lo sepultaron en los sepulcros de los reyes.
Lorsqu'ils se furent éloignés de lui, après l'avoir laissé dans de grandes souffrances, ses serviteurs conspirèrent contre lui à cause du sang des fils du sacrificateur Jehojada; ils le tuèrent sur son lit, et il mourut. On l'enterra dans la ville de David, mais on ne l'enterra pas dans les sépulcres des rois.
E, quando si furono partiti da lui, perciocchè l’aveano lasciato in gran languori, i suoi servitori fecero congiura contro a lui, per cagione dell’omicidio de’ figliuoli del sacerdote Gioiada, e l’uccisero in sul suo letto. Così morì, e fu seppellito nella Città di Davide, ma non già nelle sepolture dei re.
E, quando os sírios se retiraram, deixaram-no gravemente ferido; então seus servos conspiraram contra ele por causa do sangue do filho do sacerdote Joiada, e o feriram na sua cama, e morreu; e o sepultaram na cidade de Davi, porém não nos sepulcros dos reis.
亞蘭 人離開 約阿施 的時候,他患重病 ;他的臣僕背叛他,要報 耶何耶大 祭司兒子 的流血之仇,在床上殺了他。他就死了,葬在 大衛城 ,只是不葬在列王的墳墓裏。
