II Chronicles 24
The Idolatry of Joash
17 But after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and bowed down before the king; and the king listened to them.
18 And they forsook the house of the Lord, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols: and great wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of this iniquity.
19 But he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the Lord, and they testified against them, but they would not listen.
20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood over the people, and said to them, Thus says God: Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord? Therefore you shall not prosper; because you have forsaken the Lord, he will also forsake you.
21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones, at the king's command, in the court of the house of the Lord.
22 So King Joash did not remember the kindness his father Jehoiada had done to him, but killed his son, and as he died he said, "The Lord will see and require it."
