Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them. And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass. Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear. And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you. And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD. Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.-2 Chronicles 24:17-22***Joash (Jehoash) was born to King Ahaziah and Zibiah. Ahaziah was born to Joram (Jehoram) and Athaliah. Joram was the 5th king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land. Ahaziah was the 6th king to reign. When Athaliah learned that Ahaziah was dead, she killed her royal descendants and began to rule Judah. Jehosheba (Jehoshabeath) was Ahaziah's sister and the wife of Jehoiada the priest. Jehosheba hid Ahaziah's 1-year-old son Joash (Jehoash) and Joash's nurse, and Joash remained hidden in the temple of the Lord, with Jehoiada's knowledge. When Joash was 7 years old, Jehoiada and his sons presented Joash to their fellow Israelites as the rightful ruler of Judah. Jehoiada and his sons anointed Joash, and Joash became the 7th king to rule Judah. Jehoiada mentored Joash and taught Joash to obey the commands of the Lord God. Joash ordered the temple of the Lord to be repaired and enacted a collection system whereby funds were received and distributed to pay for materials and workmen. After 130-year-old Jehoiada died, Joash joined the actions of his idol worshiping peers. Joash disregarded the temple of the Lord, and Joash and many of the Israelites worshiped idols. Athaliah and Joram were idol worshipers, and when they reigned many Israelites worshiped idols. Joram's great-grandfather King Abijam (Abijah) was an idol worshiper and the 2nd king to rule Judah. During his reign, many Israelites worshiped idols. Abijam's father King Rehoboam was an idol worshiper and the 1st king to rule Judah. Many Israelites worshiped idols during his reign. The Lord God sent prophets to speak to the idol worshiping Israelites. However, they refused to listen. Over 700 years after Amaziah, the son born to Joash and Jehoaddan, became the 8th king to rule Judah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the birth tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
