2 Chronicles 24:17-25

17Now after the deathH4194 of JehoiadaH3077 cameH935 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, and madeH8085 obeisance to the kingH4428. ThenH227 the kingH4428 hearkened unto them. 18And they forsook the houseH1004 of Jehovah, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, and servedH5647 the Asherim and the idolsH6091: and wrathH7110 came upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 for this their guiltiness. 19Yet he sentH7971 prophetsH5030 to them, to bringH7725 them again unto Jehovah; and they testifiedH5749 against them: but they would not giveH238 earH238.

20And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 came upon ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548; and he stoodH5975 above the peopleH5971, and saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith GodH430, WhyH4100 transgressH5674 ye the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah, so that ye cannot prosperH6743? because ye have forsaken Jehovah, he hath also forsaken you. 21And they conspired against him, and stonedH7275 him with stonesH68 at the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 in the courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 22Thus JoashH3101 the kingH4428 rememberedH2142 not the kindness which JehoiadaH3077 his fatherH1 had done to him, but slewH2026 his sonH1121. And whenH834 he diedH4191, he saidH559, Jehovah lookH7200 upon it, and requireH1875 it.

23And it cameH935 to pass at the end of the yearH8141, that the army of the Syrians cameH935 up against him: and they cameH935 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and destroyedH7843 all the princesH8269 of the peopleH5971 from among the peopleH5971, and sentH7971 all the spoilH7998 of them unto the kingH4428 of DamascusH1834. 24For the armyH2428 of the Syrians cameH935 with a smallH4705 company of menH376; and Jehovah delivered a veryH3966 great host into their handH3027, because they had forsaken Jehovah, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. So they executed judgmentH8201 upon JoashH3101.

25And when they were departed from him (for they leftH5800 him very sick), his own servantsH5650 conspired against him for the bloodH1818 of the sonsH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, and slewH2026 him on his bedH4296, and he diedH4191; and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but they buriedH6912 him not in the sepulchres of the kingsH4428.
