1 Esdras 1:46-48

Revised Standard Version

⁴⁶ and made Zedeki′ah king of Judea and Jerusalem.

The Fall of Jerusalem

Zedeki′ah was twenty-one years old, and he reigned eleven years. ⁴⁷ He also did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not heed the words that were spoken by Jeremiah the prophet from the mouth of the Lord. ⁴⁸ And though King Nebuchadnez′zar had made him swear by the name of the Lord, he broke his oath and rebelled; and he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart and transgressed the laws of the Lord, the God of Israel.
