2 Kings 24:18-20

Zedekiah was twenty years old when he began to reign ,.... 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 , (see Gill on Jeremiah 52:1 , Jeremiah 52:2 , Jeremiah 52:3 ), in 2 Chronicles 36:10 , 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.
