Judah’s King Zedekiah
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old(A) when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 12 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God and did not humble himself(B) before the prophet Jeremiah at the Lord’s command.(C) 13 He also rebelled against(D) King Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear allegiance by God. He became obstinate[a](E) and hardened his heart against returning to the Lord, the God of Israel. 14 All the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, imitating all the detestable practices of the nations, and they defiled the Lord’s temple that he had consecrated in Jerusalem.

Instead, he stiffened his resolve,[b] and hardened his heart, and would not return to the Lord God of Israel.
