2 Chronicles 24:16

David

14 When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada to make with it the articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD.

15 When Jehoiada was old and full of years, he died at the age of 130.

And Jehoiada was buried with the kings in the City of David, because he had done what was good in Israel for God and His temple.

17 After the death of Jehoiada, however, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the king, and he listened to them.

18 They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and idols. So wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.
