John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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).
