Jeremiah 52:2-4

Expanded Bible

² Zedekiah did ·what the Lord said was wrong [^Levil in the eyes of the Lord], just as Jehoiakim [^Chis brother who ruled from 609–597 bc] had done. ³ All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah because the Lord was angry with them. Finally, he threw them out of his presence.

Zedekiah ·turned [rebelled] against the king of Babylon. ⁴ Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army. They made a camp around the city and built ·devices [siege towers] all around the city walls to attack it. This happened on Zedekiah’s ninth year, tenth month, and tenth day as king [^CJanuary 15, 588].
