1And King Zedekiah son of Josiah reigned in place of Coniah son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had made king in the land of Judah.

2But he and his servants and the people of the land did not listen to the words of Yahweh that he spoke through Jeremiah the prophet.

3Then King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Please pray to Yahweh our God for us.”

4Jeremiah was coming and going among the people, for they had not yet put him in the prison house.
