Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]
Son of Shimeath the Ammonitess; one of Joash's murderers ( 2 Kings 12:21). Zabad in 2 Chronicles 24:26 is a transcriber's error for Zachar contracted for Jozachar. As Joash had forsaken Jehovah for foreigners' idols, so his doom was inflicted by two sons of foreign women.
