2. Kongebok 12,21

19 Når det gjelder de andre hendelsene i Joasjs regjeringstid og alt han oppnådde, er de ikke nedskrevet i Krønikerboken for Judas konger?

20 Og hans tjenere reiste seg og dannet en sammensvergelse, og slo Joasj i huset til Millo, på veien ned til Silla.

For Josakar, sønn av Sjimeat, og Jozabad, sønn av Sjomer, hans tjenere, slo ham og han døde. Og de begravde ham med hans fedre i Davids by, og Amasja, hans sønn, etterfulgte ham som konge.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
