2 Chronicles 24:20 in Context — 2 Chronicles 24
18 Et ils abandonnèrent la maison de l’Éternel, le Dieu de leurs pères, et ils servirent les Astartés et les idoles. La colère de l’Éternel fut sur Juda et sur Jérusalem, parce qu’ils s’étaient ainsi rendus coupables.
19 L’Éternel envoya parmi eux des prophètes pour les ramener à lui, mais ils n’écoutèrent point les avertissements qu’ils en reçurent.
20 Zacharie, fils du sacrificateur Jehojada, fut revêtu de l’esprit de Dieu; il se présenta devant le peuple et lui dit: Ainsi parle Dieu: Pourquoi transgressez-vous les commandements de l’Éternel? Vous ne prospérerez point; car vous avez abandonné l’Éternel, et il vous abandonnera.
21 Et ils conspirèrent contre lui, et le lapidèrent par ordre du roi, dans le parvis de la maison de l’Éternel.
22 Le roi Joas ne se souvint pas de la bienveillance qu’avait eue pour lui Jehojada, père de Zacharie, et il fit périr son fils. Zacharie dit en mourant: Que l’Éternel voie, et qu’il fasse justice!
