Yet he
sent prophets to them, to bring them
again unto the
LORD; and they
testified against them: but they would not give
ear.

And the
Spirit of
God came upon
Zechariah the
son of
Jehoiada the
priest, which
stood above the
people, and
said unto them, Thus
saith God, Why
transgress ye the
commandments of the
LORD, that ye cannot
prosper? because ye have
forsaken the
LORD, he hath also
forsaken you.

And they
conspired against him, and
stoned him with

Thus
Joash the
king remembered not the
kindness which
Jehoiada his
father had
done to him, but
slew his
son. And when he
died, he
said, The
LORD look upon it, and
require it.

And it came to pass at the
end of the
year, that the
host of
Syria came
up against him: and they
came to
Judah and
Jerusalem, and
destroyed all the
princes of the
people from among the
people, and
sent all the
spoil of them unto the
king of
Damascus.

For the
army of the
Syrians came with a
small company of
men, and the
LORD delivered a
very great host into their
hand, because they had
forsaken the
LORD God of their
fathers. So they
executed judgment against
Joash.

And when they were
departed from him, (for they
left him in
great diseases,) his own
servants conspired against him for the
blood of the
sons of
Jehoiada the
priest, and
slew him on his
bed, and he
died: and they
buried him in the
city of
David, but they
buried him not in the
sepulchres of the
kings.
