Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Joash], king of
Jerusalem, after the death of Jehoiada the high priest,[1] betrayed his [former] care for God. The leading men of the people were also corrupted along with him, so as to offend against justice and what among them was accepted as best. God was displeased at the change in the king and the others, and sent prophets to bear witness of what was being done and to stop their wickedness; but they had a strong love and a terrible desire for this. [...] But they also stoned Zechariah,[2] the son of the high priest Jehoiada, in the temple, because he had prophesied that they would endure a great punishment for their disobedience.

Notes:
Josephus,
Jewish Antiquities 9.166-9 (web address 1).
Josephus gives the king's name as
*)iw/asos; in the
Septuagint it is
*iwas. Perhaps the Suda (or its source) has confused the name with
*)iwa/nnhs "John."
cf. 2
Chronicles 24.17-22.
