According to the author of the Book of Chronicles, this verse tells us about two people, Zabad and Jehozabad, who planned against a king. It shows that they had different family backgrounds, with one having an Ammonite mother and the other having a Moabite mother.

2 Chronicles 24:26: And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess. [Zabad: or, Jozacher] [Shimrith: or, Shomer]

Contradiction with 2 Kings 12:21

This verse lists the murderers of King Joash as Jozachar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, whereas 2 Chronicles 24:26 names them as Zabad, the son of Shimeath, an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad, the son of Shimrith, a Moabitess.

2 Kings 12:21: 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.

Paradox #1

The contradiction involves the names of the individuals who conspired against King Joash. In 2 Chronicles 24:26, the names of the conspirators differ from those listed in 2 Kings 12:21. This inconsistency between the two accounts raises questions about the identity of the individuals involved in the conspiracy.

Paradox #2

The contradiction arises when comparing the list of conspirators' names in 2 Chronicles 24:26 to those mentioned in 2 Kings 12:21. The names of the conspirators are different between the two accounts. This inconsistency in names can lead to confusion about who was actually involved.
