2 Chronicles 36:11-13

New Century Version

Zedekiah King of Judah

¹¹ Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king of Judah, and he was king in Jerusalem for eleven years. ¹² Zedekiah did what the Lord his God said was wrong. The prophet Jeremiah spoke messages from the Lord, but Zedekiah did not obey. ¹³ Zedekiah turned against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had forced him to swear in God’s name to be loyal to him. But Zedekiah became stubborn and refused to obey the Lord, the God of Israel.
