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.

Because of this sin, divine anger fell on Judah and Jerusalem. 19 Yet the Lord sent prophets to bring them back to him. The prophets warned them, but still the people would not listen.
