17 Now, after the death of Jehoiada, came the rulers of Judah, and bowed themselves down unto the king,––then, hearkened the king unto them.
18 And they forsook the house of Yahweh, God of their fathers, and served the Sacred Stems, and the images,––so there was wrath against Judah and Jerusalem, for this their guilt.
19 And he sent among them prophets, to bring them back unto Yahweh,––and they testified against them, but they would not give ear.
20 And, the spirit of God, clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he took his stand above the people,––and said unto them, Thus, saith God, Wherefore are, ye, transgressing the commandments of Yahweh, so that ye cannot prosper, because ye have forsaken Yahweh, therefore hath he forsaken you.
21 So they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones, by the commandment of the king,––in the court of the house of Yahweh.
22 Thus Joash the king, remembered not, the lovingkindness which Jehoiada his father had done for him, but slew his son,––and, as he died, he said, Yahweh see and require!
