Jeremiah 52:1-5

Jeremiah 52:1-5 TPT

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king. He reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah, of Libnah. He did what was displeasing in the sight of YAHWEH, just as King Jehoiakim had done. YAHWEH became so angry with the people of Jerusalem and Judah that he banished them from the land. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. In the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked Jerusalem with his entire army and laid siege to it. After the city had been surrounded for a year and half, they broke through the city walls.
