Jeremiah 37 Zedekiah rules Judah as king 1Josiah’s son Zedekiah became king of Judah. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon chose Zedekiah to be king instead of Jehoiakim’s son, Jeconiah. 2Zedekiah did not obey the Lord’s messages that Jeremiah spoke. The king’s officers and the people of Judah did not obey those messages either. John 12:13 took palm branches and went down the road to meet him. They shouted, “Praise God! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD! Hail to the King of Israel!” https://temtube.com/
