Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight.
He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the LORD’s mouth.
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the LORD’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
