2 Chronicles 24:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the Priest, which stood [a]above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord? surely ye shall not prosper: because ye have forsaken the Lord, he also hath forsaken you.
21 Then they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the [b]commandment of the king, in the court of the house of the Lord.
22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The Lord [c]look upon it and require it.
