2 Chronicles 24:17-20 - Joash Turns Away From The Lord

17 Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and paid homage to the king. And the king listened to them. 18 They forsook the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness. 19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.

20 The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God, 'Why do you disobey the commandments of the LORD, so that you can't prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.'"
