2 Rois 24:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 18-20. Zedekiah was twenty years old when he began to reign,
&c.] So that he was but between nine and ten years of age when his father Josiah died; for Jehoahaz reigned three months, Jehoiakim eleven years, and his son three months and ten days:

and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was
Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah;
by which it appears that he was the brother of Jehoahaz by father and mother's side, ( 2 Kings 23:31 ) . This and the two following verses are expressed in the same words as in ( Jeremiah 52:1-3 ) , (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:1), (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:2), (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:3), in ( 2 Chronicles 36:10 2 Chronicles 36:13 ) , besides what is here said, is written, that he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet of the Lord, that spoke in his name, but opposed him; and rebelling against the king of Babylon, broke his oath, and hardened his neck and heart against the Lord, and was obstinate, stubborn, and self-willed.

2 Rois 24:18 In-Context

16 Tous les hommes vaillants, au nombre de sept mille, et les charpentiers et les serruriers au nombre de mille, tous hommes vaillants et propres à la guerre; le roi de Babylone les emmena captifs à Babylone.
17 Et le roi de Babylone établit pour roi, à la place de Jéhojakin, Matthania, son oncle, et il changea son nom en celui de Sédécias.
18 Sédécias était âgé de vingt et un ans quand il commença à régner, et il régna onze ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s'appelait Hamutal, fille de Jérémie, de Libna.
19 Il fit ce qui est mauvais aux yeux de l'Éternel, tout comme avait fait Jéhojakim.
20 Car, à cause de la colère de l'Éternel, il en arriva ainsi à Jérusalem et à Juda, jusqu'à ce qu'il les rejetât de devant sa face. Or Sédécias se révolta contre le roi de Babylone.
