2 Chronicles 24:18-22

18And they abandonedH5800 1the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, and 2servedH5647 the 3AsherimH842 and the idolsH6091; so 4wrathH7110 cameH1961 upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 for thisH2088 guiltH819 of theirs. 19Yet 5He sentH7971 prophetsH5030 to them to bringH7725 them backH7725 to the LordH3068; and they testifiedH5749 against them, but they would not listenH238.

206Then the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 7coveredH3847 ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 likeH3847 clothingH3847; and he stoodH5975 aboveH4480H5921 the peopleH5971 and saidH559 to them, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 GodH430 has saidH559, ‘8WhyH4100 do you breakH5674 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 and do not prosperH6743? 9BecauseH3588 you have abandonedH5800 the LordH3068, He has also abandonedH5800 you.’” 21So 10they conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him, and at the commandH4687 of the kingH4428 they stonedH7275 him 11to deathH68 in the courtyardH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 22So JoashH3060 the kingH4428 did not rememberH2142 the kindnessH2617 whichH834 Zechariah’s fatherH1 JehoiadaH3077 had shownH6213 him, but he murderedH2026 his sonH1121. And as Zechariah diedH4194 he saidH559, “May 12the LordH3068 seeH7200 and 13avengeH1875!”
