Now the Spirit H7307 of God H430 clothed H3847 Zechariah H2148 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548; and he stood H5975 above H4480 H5921 the people H5971 and said H559 to them, “Thus H3541 says H559 God H430, ‘Why H4100 do you trespass H5674 against the commandments H4687 of Yahweh H3068 and do not succeed H6743? Because H3588 you have forsaken H5800 Yahweh H3068, He has also forsaken H5800 you.’”
Now it happened H1961 at the turn H8622 of the year H8141 that the military H2428 force H2428 of the Arameans H758 came H5927 up H5927 against H5921 him; and they came H935 to Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389, destroyed H7843 all H3605 the officials H8269 of the people H5971 from among the people H5971, and sent H7971 all H3605 their spoil H7998 to the king H4428 of Damascus H1834.
When they had gone H1980 from him (for they left H5800 him very H7227 sick H4251), his servants H5650 conspired H7194 against H5921 him because of the blood H1818 of the [fn]son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548, and killed H2026 him on his bed H4296. So he died H4191, and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David H1732, but they did not bury H6912 him in the tombs H6913 of the kings H4428.
