2 Chronicles 24:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ Even though the Lord sent prophets to the people to turn them back to him and even though the prophets warned them, they refused to listen.

²⁰ Then the Spirit of God entered Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. Zechariah stood before the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you disobey the Lord’s commands? You will not be successful. Because you have left the Lord, he has also left you.’”

²¹ But the king and his officers made plans against Zechariah. At the king’s command they threw stones at him in the courtyard of the Temple of the Lord until he died.
