2 Chronicles 24

Joash, guided by Jehoiada the priest, repairs the temple of YHWH by collecting funds as per Moses' commandment, restoring worship during Jehoiada's lifetime.[1][2] After Jehoiada's death, Joash forsakes YHWH for Asherah poles and idols, ignores prophets including Zechariah son of Jehoiada whom he stones; YHWH delivers Judah to a small Aramean army, and Joash is wounded and assassinated by his servants.[1][2][3]
