2 Kings 24:17-20 - King Zedekiah Of Judah

17 The king of Babylon installed Jehoiachin's uncle Mattaniah as king in his place and then changed his name to Zedekiah.

18 Zedekiah was 21 years old when he became king. He reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother was named Hamutal. She was the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 19 Zedekiah practiced what the LORD considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done, 20 because through the LORD's anger these things happened to Jerusalem and Judah until he threw them from his presence.
