People Conspire Against Zechariah
20 (A)Now the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people and said to them, “Thus says God, ‘(B)Why do you trespass against the commandments of Yahweh and do not succeed? (C)Because you have forsaken Yahweh, He has also forsaken you.’” 21 So (D)they conspired against him and at the command of the king they stoned him [a]to death in the court of the house of Yahweh. 22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the lovingkindness which his father Jehoiada had shown him, but he killed his son. And as he died he said, “May (E)Yahweh see and [b]avenge!”
