Numbers 35:14-34
Select three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan to be cities of refuge.These six cities will serve as a refuge for the Israelites and for the alien or temporary resident among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.“ If anyone strikes a person with an iron object and death results, he is a murderer; the murderer must be put to death.If anyone has in his hand a stone capable of causing death and strikes another person and he dies, the murderer must be put to death.If anyone has in his hand a wooden object capable of causing death and strikes another person and he dies, the murderer must be put to death.The avenger of blood himself is to kill the murderer; when he finds him, he is to kill him.Likewise, if anyone in hatred pushes a person or throws an object at him with malicious intent and he dies,or if in hostility he strikes him with his hand and he dies, the one who struck him must be put to death; he is a murderer. The avenger of blood is to kill the murderer when he finds him.“ But if anyone suddenly pushes a person without hostility or throws any object at him without malicious intentor without looking drops a stone that could kill a person and he dies, but he was not his enemy and didn’t intend to harm him,the assembly is to judge between the person who kills someone and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.The assembly is to protect the one who kills someone from the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge he fled to, and he must live there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.“ If the one who kills someone ever goes outside the border of the city of refuge he fled to,and the avenger of blood finds him outside the border of his city of refuge and kills him, the avenger will not be guilty of bloodshed,for the one who killed a person was supposed to live in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest may the one who has killed a person return to the land he possesses.These instructions will be a statutory ordinance for you throughout your generations wherever you live.“ If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be put to death based on the word of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death based on the testimony of one witness.You are not to accept a ransom for the life of someone who is guilty of murder; he must be put to death.Neither should you accept a ransom for the person who flees to his city of refuge, allowing him to return and live in the land before the death of the high priest.“ Do not defile the land where you live, for bloodshed defiles the land, and there can be no atonement for the land because of the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of the person who shed it.Do not make the land unclean where you live and where I dwell; for I, the LORD, reside among the Israelites.”

2 Chronicles 24 21-2 Chronicles 24 25
But they conspired against him and stoned him at the king’s command in the courtyard of the LORD’s temple.King Joash didn’t remember the kindness that Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him, but killed his son. While he was dying, he said,“ May the LORD see and demand an account.”At the turn of the year, an Aramean army attacked Joash. They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people among them and sent all the plunder to the king of Damascus.Although the Aramean army came with only a few men, the LORD handed over a vast army to them because the people of Judah had abandoned the LORD, the God of their ancestors. So they executed judgment on Joash.When the Arameans saw that Joash had many wounds, they left him. His servants conspired against him, and killed him on his bed, because he had shed the blood of the sons of the priest Jehoiada. So he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.
