For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. (2 Kings 12:21)
Called Zabad the son of an Ammonitess (2 Chron. 24:26). Jozachar means, “Jehovah has remembered.”
Jehozabad.
Called “the son of Shimrith a Moabitess” (2 Chron. 24:26). Jehozabad means “Jehovah has given.” There is an interesting coincidence between the names of these two conspirators and the last words that Jehoiada’s son, Zechariah, uttered when he was stoned at the command of Joash, “The Lord look upon it, and require it” (2 Chron. 24:22), meaning, “Let the Lord see and give vengeance.” King Joash failed to remember the kindness of the priest Jehoiada toward him, but the Lord remembered and gave vengeance.
