Jeremiah 52:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:2

And he did [that which was] evil in the eyes of the Lord
Though we do not read of any idolatry he was guilty of; yet he was disobedient to the word of the Lord, and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet of the Lord, that spoke in his name; and particularly he rebelled against the king of Babylon, and violated the oath he made to him, ( 2 Chronicles 36:12 2 Chronicles 36:13 ) ; according to all that Jehoiakim had done;
an elder brother of his, who reigned after Josiah, and before Jehoiachin.

2 et fecit malum in oculis Domini iuxta omnia quae fecerat Ioachim

3 quoniam furor Domini erat in Hierusalem et in Iuda usquequo proiceret eos a facie sua et recessit Sedecias a rege Babylonis

4 factum est autem in anno nono regni eius in mense decimo decima mensis venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ipse et omnis exercitus eius adversum Hierusalem et obsederunt eam et aedificaverunt contra eam munitiones in circuitu

5 et fuit civitas obsessa usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedeciae
