2Chronicles:24:15-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But Jehoi '
ada grew old and full of days ,
and died ;
he was a hundred and thirty years old at his death .
*
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings ,
because he had done good in Israel ,
and toward God and his house .
*
Now after the death of Jehoi '
ada the princes of Judah came and did obeisance to the king ;
then the king hearkened to them .
*
And 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 .
*
Yet he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the LORD ;
these testified against them ,
but they would not give heed .
*
Then 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 .'"
*
But they conspired against him ,
and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the LORD .
*
Thus 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 !"
