Jeremiah 34:5-9

You will die in peace, and incense will be burned for you at your funeral as they burned it for the kings before you. They will mourn for you, saying: “How terrible! Our highness is dead!” I, YAHWEH, have spoken.’ ” So I repeated all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, the army of Babylon was trying to break through the walls of Lachish and Azekah, the only remaining fortified towns of Judah. YAHWEH spoke to Jeremiah after King Zedekiah had made an agreement with the people of Jerusalem to set free all the Jewish slaves. Everyone was to free their Hebrew slaves, men and women, and no longer enslave a fellow Jew.
