20 God's Spirit energized Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood up before the people and said to them, |This is what God says: 'Why are you violating the commands of the LORD? You will not be prosperous! Because you have rejected the LORD, he has rejected you!'| 21 They plotted against him and by royal decree stoned him to death in the courtyard of the LORD's temple. 22 King Joash disregarded the loyalty his father Jehoiada had shown him and killed Jehoiada's son. As Zechariah was dying, he said, |May the LORD take notice and seek vengeance!| 2 Chronicles 24:20-22, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
