‏ 2 Chronicles 24:20-21

v. 20: Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada, was filled with the Spirit of God and spoke boldly to the people. He warned them that forsaking God would lead to disaster, saying, Because you have forsaken the Lord, He has also forsaken you(2 Chronicles 24:20; Deuteronomy 31:16-17 ^a).

v. 21: Instead of repenting, the people, led by the king, conspired to kill Zechariah. They stoned him to death in the temple court, a holy place meant for worship. This act of murder against a prophet was a terrible sin, showing their complete rejection of God .
