2 Chronicles 24:18

Joash Repairs The Temple

¹⁷ However, after Jehoiada died, the rulers of Judah came and paid homage to the king. Then the king listened to them, ¹⁸ and they abandoned the temple of Yahweh, the God of their ancestors and served the Asherah poles and the idols. So there was wrath against Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs. ¹⁹ Nevertheless, He sent them prophets to bring them back to the Lord; they admonished them, but the people would not listen.
