17. And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18. Zedekiah twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19. And he did evil in the sight of יְהוָ֥ה, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
20. For through the anger of יְהוָ֥ה it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
