Joash's Treachery

20 1Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah 2the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God, 3'Why do you break the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? 4Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has forsaken you.'"
21 But 5they conspired against him, 6and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the LORD.
22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, "May the LORD see 7and avenge!"a
