2 Chronicles 24:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁹ Yet he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the Lord; they testified against them, but they would not listen.

²⁰ Then the spirit of God took possession of^[a] Zechariah son of the priest Jehoiada; he stood above the people and said to them, ‘Thus says God: Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? 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.
