Commentary
4 notes on this verseThe rest of the acts of Joash - We have already seen that this man, so promising in the beginning of his reign, apostatized, became an idolater, encouraged idolatry among his subjects, and put the high priest Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada his benefactor, to death; and now God visited that blood upon him by the hands of the tyrannous king of Syria, and by his own servants.
This site's exposition
the book of the chronicles of the kings
on 2 Kings 12:19-21
The formula that measures every king's reign against a fuller record gives way at once to conspiracy: his own servants, named by name and by mother, kill Jehoash in the house of Millo, the royal building David had raised, on the road going down to Silla. Judah's throne does not fall with him. Amaziah his son reigns in his place, the one dynasty promised for David's sake outliving the very king who had repaired its temple, and 2 Kings records him buried with his fathers in the city of David.
The record, by era

And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 2 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the L ORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 3 But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

And the rest of the acts of Jehoash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? In the registers and annals of those princes; some of them are to be met with in 2Ch 24:1.
