2 Chronicles 24:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 24:21

And they conspired against him
Consulted together to take away his life, and got the order of the king to do it:

and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court
of the house of the Lord;
where he had stood and reproved them; this they did before he went out, while in the temple; and if he is the same Zechariah, as some think, our Lord speaks of, he was slain between the temple porch and the altar, ( Matthew 23:35 ) , (See Gill on Matthew 23:35).

2 Chronicles 24:21 In-Context

19 mittebatque eis prophetas ut reverterentur ad Dominum quos protestantes illi audire nolebant

20 spiritus itaque Dei induit Zacchariam filium Ioiadae sacerdotem et stetit in conspectu populi et dixit eis haec dicit Dominus quare transgredimini praeceptum Domini quod vobis non proderit et dereliquistis Dominum ut derelinqueret vos

21 qui congregati adversus eum miserunt lapides iuxta regis imperium in atrio domus Domini

22 et non est recordatus Ioas rex misericordiae quam fecerat Ioiadae pater illius secum sed interfecit filium eius qui cum moreretur ait videat Dominus et requirat

23 cumque evolutus esset annus ascendit contra eum exercitus Syriae venitque in Iudam et Hierusalem et interfecit cunctos principes populi atque universam praedam miserunt regi Damascum
