As a result, God's wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of their guilt. 19 The Lord sent prophets among them to bring them back to Him, but though the prophets testified against them, they refused to listen. 20 Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest. Standing above the people, he said to them, 'This is what God says: Why do you disobey the Lord's commands and bring about your own failure? Because you have forsaken the Lord, He has also forsaken you.' 21 But they conspired against him, and at the king's command, they stoned him to death in the courtyard of the house of the Lord. 22 King Joash did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had shown him but killed his son. As Zechariah was dying, he said, 'May the Lord see this and call you to account.'
