And wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.(A) 19 Yet he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the Lord; they testified against them, but they would not listen.(B)

17 But after Jehoiada had died, officials from Judah came, bowed down to the king, and the king listened to what they had to say. 18 They abandoned the Lord’s Temple and the God of their fathers, and they served Asherim[a] and idols. As a result this guilt of theirs resulted in wrath coming upon Judah and Jerusalem. 19 Nevertheless, God[b] sent prophets among them to bring them back to the Lord.
