Verse 25
And when they were departed from him ,.... Having got what wealth and spoil they could:
for they left him in great diseases ; through the wounds they gave him, and the distress they brought him into:
his own servants conspired against him, for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest ; for perhaps more than one was slain at the same time; the rest vindicating the cause of their brother, shared the same fate; or the plural is put for the singular:
and slew him on his bed ; in the house of Millo, where he lay ill of his wounds, and sick of his diseases, and could not defend himself:
and he died : of the wounds his servants gave him:
and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings ; see 2 Kings 12:21 .
