2 Chronicles 24:20-22
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has also forsaken you.’ 21 But they conspired against him, and by command of the king they stoned him to death in the court of the house of the Lord. 22 King Joash did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah’s father, had shown him, but killed his son. As he was dying, he said, ‘May the Lord see and avenge!’
