The regicide of Joash, a significant event in the history of the Kingdom of Judah, is recorded in the Old Testament, specifically in 2 Kings 12 and 2 Chronicles 24. Joash, also known as Jehoash, was the son of Ahaziah and became king of Judah at a young age after being saved from the massacre of the royal family by his aunt Jehosheba and the high priest Jehoiada. His reign is marked by both religious reform and eventual apostasy, leading to his assassination.
