Joash's Treachery

2 Chronicles 24

²⁰ _s Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah _t the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God, _u 'Why do you break the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? _v Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.'" ²¹ But _w they conspired against him, _x and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord. ²² Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, "May the Lord see _y and avenge!" ₁
