Judahs King Zedekiah

11 Zedekiah was 21 years old(A) when he became king and reigned 11 years in Jerusalem. 12 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God and did not humble himself(B) before Jeremiah the prophet at the Lord’s command.(C) 13 He also rebelled against(D) King Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear allegiance by God. He became obstinate(a)(E) and hardened his heart against returning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
