2 Chronicles
2 Chronicles 24:21–22
21But they conspired against Zechariah, and by order of the king, they stoned him in the courtyard of the house of the LORD.
22Thus King Joash failed to remember the kindness that Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him. Instead, Joash killed Jehoiada’s son. As he lay dying, Zechariah said, “May the LORD see this and call you to account.”
