2 Chronicles 24:20-27

201Then the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 2coveredH3847 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, ‘3WhyH4100 do you breakH5674 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 and do not prosperH6743? 4BecauseH3588 you have abandonedH5800 the LordH3068, He has also abandonedH5800 you.’” 21So 5they conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him, and at the commandH4687 of the kingH4428 they stonedH7275 him 6to 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 7the LordH3068 seeH7200 and 8avengeH1875!”

23Now it happenedH1961 at the turnH8622 of the yearH8141 that 9the armyH2428 of the ArameansH758 cameH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 Joash; and they cameH935 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, destroyedH7843 allH3605 the officialsH8269 of the peopleH5971 from among the peopleH5971, and sentH7971 allH3605 their spoilsH7998 to the kingH4428 of DamascusH1834. 24IndeedH3588, the armyH2428 of the ArameansH758 cameH935 with a smallH4705 numberH4705 of menH376; yet 10the LordH3068 handedH5414H3027 a veryH3966 greatH7230 armyH2428 overH5414 to them, 11becauseH3588 12Judah and Joash had abandonedH5800 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. So they executedH6213 judgmentH8201 on JoashH3060.

2513When they leftH1980 him (for they leftH5800 him veryH7227 sickH4251), his own servantsH5650 conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him because of the bloodH1818 of the 14sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, and they murderedH2026 him on his bedH4296. So he diedH4191, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but they did not buryH6912 him in the tombsH6913 of the kingsH4428. 26Now theseH428 are the men who conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him: ZabadH2066 the sonH1121 of ShimeathH8100 the AmmonitessH5985, and JehozabadH3075 the sonH1121 of ShimrithH8116 the MoabitessH4125. 27As to his sonsH1121 and the manyH7230 pronouncementsH4853 againstH5921 him and 15the 16rebuildingH3245 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, beholdH2009, they are writtenH3789 in the 1718treatiseH4097 of the BookH5612 of the KingsH4428. Then his sonH1121 AmaziahH558 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478.
