2 Chronicles 24:17

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

¹⁶ 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.

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.

¹⁹ Nevertheless, the LORD sent prophets to bring the people back to Him and to testify against them; but they would not listen.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
