24:25 When they withdrew, they left Joash ⁴  badly wounded. His servants plotted against him because of what he had done to ⁵  the son ⁶  of Jehoiada the priest. They murdered him on his bed. Thus ⁷  he died and was buried in the City of David, ⁸  but not in the tombs of the kings.

[7:22]  ¹ tn Heb “and they will say.”

[7:22]  ² tn Heb “fathers.”

[7:22]  ³ tn Heb “and they took hold of other gods and bowed down to them and served them.”

[24:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “because of the shed blood of.”

[24:25]  ⁶ tc The MT has the plural בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons”), but the final yod is dittographic. Note the yod that immediately follows.
