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. And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus. For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash. And when they were departed from him, for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings. And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.-2 Chronicles 24:20-26***Zechariah was born to Jehoiada the priest in Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land. Joash (Jehoash) was born to King Ahaziah and Zibiah. Ahaziah was born to King Joram (Jehoram) and Athaliah. Jehoram was born to King Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat was born to King Asa and Azubah. Asa was born to King Abijam (Abijah) and Maachah. Abijah was born to King Rehoboam. Rehoboam was born to King Solomon and Naamah. Solomon was the 2nd child born to King David and Bathsheba. David was the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Solomon was the 3rd king to reign, and Rehoboam was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. Judah was in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Before Joash became the 7th king to rule Judah, Jehoiada secretly guarded Joash for 6 years before Joash was introduced to the Israelites and anointed. Throughout Joash's childhood, Jehoiada taught Joash and Joash obeyed the commands of the Lord God. After 130-year-old Jehoiada died, Joash followed the idol worshiping officials in Judah. When Jehoiada's son Zechariah proclaimed the words of the Lord God to them, they listened to the command of Joash and stoned Zechariah to death in the courtyard of the temple of the Lord. Months thereafter, Arameans (Syrians) came to Judah and began killing and looting. Joash was left in a poorly state, and Zabad (Jozachar/Jozabad) the Ammonite and Jehozabad the Moabite killed Joash. The Moabites were descendants of Lot and Lot's oldest daughter and their son Moab. The Ammonites descended from Lot and Lot's youngest daughter and their son Ben-ammi. The Israelites descend from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). Decades after Jacob and his older fraternal twin brother Esau (Edom) were born, Jacob was married to Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean). Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob and Leah. Joseph was the 1st son born to Jacob and Rachel. Approximately 1,900 years after Jacob and Rachel's son Benjamin was born near Bethlehem, and Rachel died, 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 in Bethlehem into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-25:18, 27:12-23, 31:1-54, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings 1:1-12:21, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-24:27, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. Acts 1:1-26
