2 Chronicles 24:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:19

Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the
Lord
To reprove them for their sin, to warn them of their danger, to exhort them to their duty, and endeavour to restore them, and reduce them to the obedience and worship, of God; such was his clemency, goodness, and condescension to them, before he executed his wrath upon them:

and they testified against them;
against their sins, and declared what would befall them, and called heaven and earth to witness for God and against them:

but they would not give ear:
to their reproofs, admonitions, cautions, and exhortations, but went on in their own ways.

2 Chronicles 24:19 In-Context

17 After Jehoiada's death, however, the leaders of Judah came and bowed before the king, and the king listened to them.

18 They abandoned the temple of the LORD, their ancestors' God, and worshipped sacred poles and idols. Anger came upon Judah and Jerusalem as a consequence of their sin,

19 and though God sent prophets to them to bring them back to the LORD and to warn them, they refused to listen.

20 Then the spirit of God enwrapped Zechariah the son of the priest Jehoiada. Standing before the people, he told them, "This is what God says: Why do you defy the LORD's commands and keep yourselves from prospering? Because you have abandoned the LORD, he has abandoned you!"

21 But the people plotted against Zechariah, and at the king's command stoned him to death in the courtyard of the LORD's temple.
