2 Chronicles 24:22-24

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

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^(A) an account.’

Aramean Invasion of Judah

²³ At the turn of the year, an Aramean army attacked Joash.^(B) They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people among them and sent all the plunder to the king of Damascus. ²⁴ Although the Aramean army came with only a few men, the Lord handed over^(C) a vast army to them because the people of Judah had abandoned^(D) the Lord, the God of their ancestors. So they executed judgement on Joash.
