*
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 .
*
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 look upon it ,
and require it .
*
And it came to pass at the end of the year ,
that the host of Syria came up against him :
and they came to Judah and Jerusalem ,
and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people ,
and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus .
*
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men ,
and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand ,
because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers .
So they executed judgment against Joash Yow #

And when they were departed from him , (
for they left him in great diseases , )
his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest ,
and slew him on his bed ,
and he died :
and they buried him in the city of David ,
but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings .
*
And these are they that conspired against him ;
Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess ,
and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess Mow #

Now concerning his sons ,
and the greatness (

of the burdens laid upon him ,
and the repairing of the house of God ,
behold ,
they are written in the story of the book of the kings .
And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead .
