[11] Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, eleven years in Jerusalem. [12] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD. [13] And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel. [14] Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
