14 When they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of Yahweh, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh continually all the days of Jehoiada.

16 They buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.

19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to Yahweh; 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 disobey you the commandments of Yahweh, so that you can`t prosper? because you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.
