2 Chronicles 24:19Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to Yahweh; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
The setting
Jerusalem, ~800 BC. After decades of faithful rule, King Joash has turned from God. The temple he restored is being used for Baal worship. Modern-day Jerusalem, Israel.
The emotion here: grief over documenting repeated rebellion
The original word
shub (שׁוּב) — to turn back, return, repent - not just feel sorry but completely reverse direction
Why it matters
Joash was the boy king saved by his aunt when all royal children were murdered
