 II Kings 24

Zedekiah Reigns, and He and His People Are Deported to Babylon

18 Zedekiah 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.

19 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

20 For this happened because the Lord was angry with Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out of his sight. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
