These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.

Verse Takeaways

1

Different Names, Same Story

Scholars note that the names of the conspirators here (Zabad, Jehozabad) differ from the parallel account in 2 Kings 12:21 (Jozachar, Jehozabad). This is likely due to scribal variations or nicknames, such as 'Zabad' being a shortened form of 'Jozachar'. This highlights how different biblical accounts can preserve slightly different details of the same event.
