2 Kings 12:21

2 Kings 14:5 Historical context

In 2 Kings 14:5, Amaziah executes the servants who assassinated Joash here — a direct narrative consequence and act of vengeance.

In 2 Kings 14:19, Amaziah is also assassinated by conspirators — echoing the fate of his father Joash, creating a pattern of regicide.

In 2 Kings 14:20, Amaziah's burial mirrors Joash's — both buried in Jerusalem with fathers after assassination.

2 Chronicles 24:26 gives the names of Joash's assassins, matching but spelling them differently.
