19 Yet God sent prophets among them to bring them back to the LORD; these prophets testified against them, but they would not listen. 20 Then the Spirit of God came over Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people and said to them, “This is what God has said: ‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD so that you cannot prosper? Because you have abandoned (turned away from) the LORD, He has also abandoned (turned away from) you.’” 21 So they conspired against Zechariah and stoned him [to death] at the command of the king, in the courtyard of the house of the LORD. 2 Chronicles 24:19-21, Amplified Bible.
