- King Zedekiah:
-
- "The last king of Judah, son of Josiah and Hamutal (2 Kings 24:18). He rebelled against the king of Babylon, and as a result he was taken by Nebuchadnezzar and bound. His sons were killed before his eyes, and his own eyes were put out. He was then taken to Babylon where he died (2 Kings 24-25). Because of his evil he was permitted only 11 years of reign, many details of which are given in Jeremiah 34-37." (THE NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE, © 1987 Zondervan, p. 1084)
