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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 18 is found in chapter 24 of 2 Chronicles. After Jehoiada’s death, Judah’s leaders abandon the Lord and serve idols. Zechariah, son of Jehoiada, denounces the transgression and is killed by the king’s order. The contrast with Joash’s earlier faithfulness is radical and shows how excessive dependence on a human leader does not guarantee permanent faithfulness to God.
