15But Jehoi'ada grew old and full of days, and died; he was a hundred and thirty years old at his death. 16And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house. 17Now after the death of Jehoi'ada the princes of Judah came and did obeisance to the king; then the king hearkened to them. 18And they forsook the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Ashe'rim and the idols. And wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guilt. 19Yet he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the LORD; these testified against them, but they would not give heed.
20Then the Spirit of God took possession of Zechari'ah the son of Jehoi'ada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God, `Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has forsaken you.'" 21But they conspired against him, and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the LORD. 22Thus Jo'ash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoi'ada, Zechari'ah's father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, "May the LORD see and avenge!"
