2 Chronicles 24:17-24

17And after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and made obeisance to the king; then the king hearkened to them.

18And they forsook the house of Jehovah the 1God of their fathers, and served the Asherahs and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.

19And he sent prophets among them to bring them again to Jehovah, and they testified against them; but they would not give ear.

20And the Spirit of 2God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood up above the people and said unto them, Thus saith 3God: Wherefore do ye transgress the commandments of Jehovah? And ye cannot prosper; for ye have forsaken Jehovah, and he hath forsaken you.

21And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the command of the king in the court of the house of Jehovah.

22And king Joash remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, Jehovah see and require [it]!

23And it came to pass at the end of the year [that] the army of Syria came up against him; and they entered into Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them to the king at Damascus.

24Truly with a small company of men came the army of the Syrians, but Jehovah delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah the 4God of their fathers; and they executed judgment upon Joash.
