2 Chronicles 36:11-13

International Standard Version

Zedekiah Rules in Judah^(A)

¹¹ Zedekiah was 21 years old when he became king, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. ¹² He practiced what the Lord his God considered to be evil and never humbled himself before Jeremiah the prophet who spoke for the Lord. ¹³ Zedekiah rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear allegiance in the name of^[a] God. Instead, he stiffened his resolve,^[b] and hardened his heart, and would not return to the Lord God of Israel.
