Bible verse
And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Jeremiah 52:2 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 52.
1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
2 And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
3 For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
5 And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
6 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
