- 众民同心谋害撒迦利亚,就照王的吩咐,在耶和华殿的院内用石头打死他。
- 这样,约阿施王不想念撒迦利亚的父亲耶何耶大向自己所施的恩,杀了他的儿子。撒迦利亚临死的时候说,愿耶和华鉴察伸冤。
- 满了一年,亚兰的军兵上来攻击约阿施,来到犹大和耶路撒冷,杀了民中的众首领,将所掠的财货送到大马色王那里。
- 亚兰的军兵虽来了一小队,耶和华却将大队的军兵交在他们手里,是因犹大人离弃耶和华他们列祖的神,所以藉亚兰人惩罚约阿施。
- 亚兰人离开约阿施的时候,他患重病。臣仆背叛他,要报祭司耶何耶大儿子流血之仇,杀他在床上,葬他在大卫城,只是不葬在列王的坟墓里。

- But they plotted against him, and by order of the king they stoned him to death in the courtyard of the LORD's temple.
- King Joash did not remember the kindness Zechariah's father Jehoiada had shown him but killed his son, who said as he lay dying, "May the LORD see this and call you to account."
- At the turn of the year, the army of Aram marched against Joash; it invaded Judah and Jerusalem and killed all the leaders of the people. They sent all the plunder to their king in Damascus.
- Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the LORD delivered into their hands a much larger army. Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, judgment was executed on Joash.
- When the Arameans withdrew, they left Joash severely wounded. His officials conspired against him for murdering the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him in his bed. So he died and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
