The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “God says, ‘Why do you disobey the LORD’s commandments, so that you can’t prosper?
Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.’”
They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the LORD’s house.
Thus Joash the king didn’t remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son.
When he died, he said, “May the LORD look at it, and repay it.”
