[Jeremiah 37:1-10 ESV] {1} Zedekiah the son of Josiah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah, reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim. {2} But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land listened to the words of the LORD that he spoke through Jeremiah the prophet. {3} King Zedekiah sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Please pray for us to the LORD our God.” {4} Now Jeremiah was still going in and out among the people, for he had not yet been put in prison. {5} The army of Pharaoh had come out of Egypt. And when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news about them, they withdrew from Jerusalem. {6} Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet: {7} “Thus says the LORD, God of Israel: Thus shall you say to the king of Judah who sent you to me to inquire of me, ‘Behold, Pharaoh’s army that came to help you is about to return to Egypt, to its own land. {8} And the Chaldeans shall come back and fight against this city. They shall capture it and burn it with fire. {9} Thus says the LORD, Do not deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely go away from us,” for they will not go away. {10} For even if you should defeat the whole army of Chaldeans who are fighting against you, and there remained of them only wounded men, every man in his tent, they would rise up and burn this city with fire.’”

[2 Chronicles 36:13 ESV] {13} He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. He stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.

[Jeremiah 14:6 ESV] {6} The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail because there is no vegetation.

[Jeremiah 31:27-30 ESV] {27} “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. {28} And it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, declares the LORD. {29} In those days they shall no longer say: “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’ {30} But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

[2 Kings 23:31-34 ESV] {31} Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. {32} And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done. {33} And Pharaoh Neco put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and laid on the land a tribute of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. {34} And Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and died there.

[2 Kings 24:6-16 ESV] {6} So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. {7} And the king of Egypt did not come again out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates. {8} Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. {9} And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. {10} At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. {11} And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it, {12} and Jehoiachin the king of Judah gave himself up to the king of Babylon, himself and his mother and his servants and his officials and his palace officials. The king of Babylon took him prisoner in the eighth year of his reign {13} and carried off all the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold in the temple of the LORD, which Solomon king of Israel had made, as the LORD had foretold. {14} He carried away all Jerusalem and all the officials and all the mighty men of valor, 10,000 captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. None remained, except the poorest people of the land. {15} And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon. The king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officials, and the chief men of the land he took into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. {16} And the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon all the men of valor, 7,000, and the craftsmen and the metal workers, 1,000, all of them strong and fit for war.

[2 Kings 24:17-20 ESV] {17} And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah. {18} Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. {19} And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. {20} For because of the anger of the LORD it came to the point in Jerusalem and Judah that he cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

[2 Kings 25:1-7 ESV] {1} And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and laid siege to it. And they built siegeworks all around it. {2} So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. {3} On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. {4} Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king’s garden, and the Chaldeans were around the city. And they went in the direction of the Arabah. {5} But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him. {6} Then they captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they passed sentence on him. {7} They slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him in chains and took him to Babylon.
