2 Chronicles 24:21

In context

19He sent prophets among them to bring them back to Yahweh; they warned them, but they would not give ear. 20Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood above the people and said to them, “This is what God says: Why are you overstepping the commandments of Yahweh, so that you cannot succeed? Because you have abandoned Yahweh, he has abandoned you.” 21But they conspired against him, and at the king’s command they stoned him to death in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh. 22King Joash did not remember the loyalty Jehoiada his father had shown him; he killed his son. And as he died Zechariah said, “May Yahweh see this and call it to account.” 23At the turn of the year the army of Aram marched against him. They came into Judah and Jerusalem, destroyed all the leaders of the people and sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus.
