2 Chronicles 24:19-21

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁹ In spite of this, he sent them prophets to bring them back to Adonai; they warned them, but they wouldn’t pay attention. ²⁰ The Spirit of God covered Z’kharyah the son of Y’hoyada the cohen; he stood above the people and addressed them: “Thus says God: ‘Why are you transgressing the mitzvot of Adonai and courting disaster? Because you have abandoned Adonai, he has abandoned you.” ²¹ But they conspired against him and stoned him to death at the order of the king in the courtyard of the house of Adonai.
