15 But Jehoiada became old and full of days, and he came to his end; he was a hundred and thirty years old at the time of his death.
16 And they put him into his last resting-place in the town of David, among the kings, because he had done good in Israel for God and for his house.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada, the chiefs of Judah came and went down on their faces before the king. Then the king gave ear to them.
18 And they gave up the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and became worshippers of pillars of wood and of the images; and because of this sin of theirs, wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem.
19 And the Lord sent them prophets to make them come back to him; and they gave witness against them, but they would not give ear.
