Rulers: Wicked: Zedekiah, Following the Evil Example of Jehoiakim

And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke for the LORD.

He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
