17Now after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and paid homage to the king.

Lament over Jerusalem
31At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from zhere, for aaHerod wants to kill you.” 32And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day abI finish my course. 33Nevertheless, acI admust go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that aea prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’ 34 afO Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that agkills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! ahHow often would I have aigathered ajyour children together akas a hen gathers her brood alunder her wings, and amyou were not willing!
