2 Chronicles 24:20-22
24:20 God’s Spirit energized
Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood up before the people and said to them, “This is what God says: ‘Why are you violating the commands of the
Lord? You will not be prosperous! Because you have rejected the
Lord, he has rejected you!’”
24:21 They plotted against him and by royal decree stoned him to death in the courtyard of the
Lord’s temple.
24:22 King Joash disregarded
the loyalty his father Jehoiada had shown him and killed Jehoiada’s
son. As Zechariah
was dying, he said, “May the
Lord take notice and seek vengeance!”
