Jozacar
요사갈
Named at 2 Kings 12:21 as the son of Shimeath. 12:20–21 says that Joash’s servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla: “For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died”.

25When they had departed from him (for they left him seriously wounded), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died. They buried him in David’s city, but they didn’t bury him in the tombs of the kings.
26These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27Now concerning his sons, the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God’s house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
