Thematic Bible: Zedekiah, following the evil example of jehoiakim

and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God; he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD. He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.

He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
