  • Hiligaynon: “King Joash forget the goodness that Jehoyada the father of Zacarias showed him. Instead, he had-killed Zacarias. This is what Zacarias had-said when he was dying, ‘May the LORD take-notice what you have-done, and avenge my death/[lit. and he will-ask you (plur.) for payment.]’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “King Joash had forgotten about how Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had been kind to him. That’s why he gave orders for the people to kill Jehoiada’s son Zechariah, who said as he was dying, ‘I hope that Yahweh will see what you are doing to me and punish you for doing it.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
