2 Chronicles 24:17-20

17But after the death of Jehoiada the officials of Judah came and bowed down to the king, and the king listened to them. 18And they abandoned 1the house of the Lord, the God of their fathers, and 2served the 3Asherim and the idols; so 4wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs. 19Yet 5He sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord; and they testified against them, but they would not listen.

206Then the Spirit of God 7covered Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest like clothing; and he stood above the people and said to them, “This is what God has said, ‘8Why do you break the commandments of the Lord and do not prosper? 9Because you have abandoned the Lord, He has also abandoned you.’”
