*
Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah ,
and made obeisance to the king .
Then the king hearkened unto them .
*
And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers ,
and served groves and idols :
and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass .
*
Yet he sent prophets to them ,
to bring them again unto the LORD ;
and they testified against them :
but they would not give ear .
*
And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest ,
which stood above the people ,
and said unto them ,
Thus saith God ,
Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD ,
that ye cannot prosper ?
because ye have forsaken the LORD ,
he hath also forsaken you .
*
And they conspired against him ,
and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD .
