Numbers 35:14-34
three on the east side of the Jordan River and three on the west in the land of Canaan.These cities are for the protection of Israelites, foreigners living among you, and traveling merchants. Anyone who accidentally kills someone may flee there for safety.“ But if someone strikes and kills another person with a piece of iron, it is murder, and the murderer must be executed.Or if someone with a stone in his hand strikes and kills another person, it is murder, and the murderer must be put to death.Or if someone strikes and kills another person with a wooden object, it is murder, and the murderer must be put to death.The victim’s nearest relative is responsible for putting the murderer to death. When they meet, the avenger must put the murderer to death.So if someone hates another person and waits in ambush, then pushes him or throws something at him and he dies, it is murder.Or if someone hates another person and hits him with a fist and he dies, it is murder. In such cases, the avenger must put the murderer to death when they meet.“ But suppose someone pushes another person without having shown previous hostility, or throws something that unintentionally hits another person,or accidentally drops a huge stone on someone, though they were not enemies, and the person dies.If this should happen, the community must follow these regulations in making a judgment between the slayer and the avenger, the victim’s nearest relative:The community must protect the slayer from the avenger and must escort the slayer back to live in the city of refuge to which he fled. There he must remain until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the sacred oil.“ But if the slayer ever leaves the limits of the city of refuge,and the avenger finds him outside the city and kills him, it will not be considered murder.The slayer should have stayed inside the city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the slayer may return to his own property.These are legal requirements for you to observe from generation to generation, wherever you may live.“ All murderers must be put to death, but only if evidence is presented by more than one witness. No one may be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.Also, you must never accept a ransom payment for the life of someone judged guilty of murder and subject to execution; murderers must always be put to death.And never accept a ransom payment from someone who has fled to a city of refuge, allowing a slayer to return to his property before the death of the high priest.This will ensure that the land where you live will not be polluted, for murder pollutes the land. And no sacrifice except the execution of the murderer can purify the land from murder.You must not defile the land where you live, for I live there myself. I am the Lord, who lives among the people of Israel.”

2 Chronicles 24 21-2 Chronicles 24 25
Then the leaders plotted to kill Zechariah, and King Joash ordered that they stone him to death in the courtyard of the Lord’s Temple.That was how King Joash repaid Jehoiada for his loyalty— by killing his son. Zechariah’s last words as he died were,“ May the Lord see what they are doing and avenge my death!”In the spring of the year the Aramean army marched against Joash. They invaded Judah and Jerusalem and killed all the leaders of the nation. Then they sent all the plunder back to their king in Damascus.Although the Arameans attacked with only a small army, the Lord helped them conquer the much larger army of Judah. The people of Judah had abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, so judgment was carried out against Joash.The Arameans withdrew, leaving Joash severely wounded. But his own officials plotted to kill him for murdering the son of Jehoiada the priest. They assassinated him as he lay in bed. Then he was buried in the City of David, but not in the royal cemetery.
