Zedekiah’s decision

1Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

2And he did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

3For because of the anger of Yahweh it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he cast them out from before his face; and Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
