2 Chronicles 24:17-19
New English Translation
17 After Jehoiada died, the officials of Judah visited the king and declared their loyalty to him.[a] The king listened to their advice.[b] 18 They abandoned the temple of the Lord God of their ancestors[c] and worshiped[d] the Asherah poles and idols. Because of this sinful activity, God was angry with Judah and Jerusalem. 19 The Lord sent prophets among them to lead them back to him.[e] They warned[f] the people, but they would not pay attention.
