Contextual Overview
15 And Jehoiada was old and satisfied with days, and died, a son of a hundred and thirty years at his death. 16 And they buried him in the city of David with the kings, for he had done good in Israel, and with God, and his house. 17 And after the death of Jehoiada, the leaders of Judah came in and bowed themselves to the king; then the king listened to them. 18 And they forsook the house of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherahs and the idols; and there was wrath on Judah and Jerusalem because of this guilt. 19 And He sent prophets among them to bring them back to Jehovah; and they testified against them, but they did not give ear. 20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood before the people and said to them, So says God, Why do you transgress the commandments of Jehovah, and do notprosper? Because you have forsaken Jehovah,He has forsaken you. 21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones by the command of the king, in the court of the house of Jehovah. 22 And Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada his father had done to him, and killed his son. And at his death he said, Jehovah shall seek you out . 23 And it happened, at the turn of the year, that the army of Syria came up against him; and they came into Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people; and they sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus. 24 For with few men the army of Syria came in, and Jehovah gave a mighty force for multitude into their hand, because they left Jehovah, the God of their fathers. And they executed judgment against Joash.
