14:024:015 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an
           hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.

14:024:016 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings,
           because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and
           toward his house.

14:024:017 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and
           made obeisance to the king.  Then the king hearkened unto them.

14:024:018 And they left the house of the lord God of their fathers, and
           served groves and idols:  and wrath came upon Judah and
           Jerusalem for this their trespass.

14:024:019 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the
           lord; and they testified against them:  but they would not give
           ear.

14:024:020 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada
           the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them,
           Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the
           lord, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the
           lord, he hath also forsaken you.

14:024:021 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at
           the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the
           lord.

14:024:022 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada
           his father had done to him, but slew his son.  And when he
           died, he said, The lord look upon it, and require it.

14:024:023 And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of
           Syria came up against him:  and they came to Judah and
           Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from
           among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king
           of Damascus.

14:024:024 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men,
           and the lord delivered a very great host into their hand,
           because they had forsaken the lord God of their fathers.  So
           they executed judgment against Joash.

14:024:025 And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in
           great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for
           the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on
           his bed, and he died:  and they buried him in the city of
           David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.

14:024:026 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son
           of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a
           Moabitess.

14:024:027 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid
           upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they
           are written in the story of the book of the kings.  And Amaziah
           his son reigned in his stead.
