Zedekiah

Zedekiah – Justice of Jehovah

Zedekiah was the twentieth and last king of Judah and was placed on the throne by Nebuchadnezzar after the little kingdom had been subjugated by him, and prior to the destruction of Jerusalem. Although he was pledged under oath to loyalty to the Chaldeans, at the first opportunity he rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar. As a result the siege and utter destruction of Jerusalem took place and the Jews of Judah were carried away captive to Babylonian territory. A legend of the Superexcellent Master's Degree covers the gathering of his officers and advisers in the Temple, after the city had been entered by Chaldean soldiers, in his plot for escape.
