2 Chronicles 24:20-22

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁰ The Spirit of God took control of^[a](A) Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood above the people and said to them, “This is what God says, ‘Why are you transgressing the Lord’s commands and you do not prosper?^(B) Because you have abandoned the Lord, He has abandoned you.’”^{(C) 21} But they conspired against him and stoned him at the king’s command in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple.^{(D) 22} King Joash didn’t remember the kindness that Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him, but killed his son. While he was dying, he said, “May the Lord see and demand^(E) an account.”
