What did Zedekiah do in the Bible
Zedekiah was the 20th and last king of the Kingdom of Judah. Until he was crowned king at age 21, his name was Mattaniah. He was the third son of King Josiah. He was famous for angrily burning the scroll of Jeremiah, which foretold the destruction of the kingdom and the Temple. During the siege on Jerusalem he was captured by the Babylonians while trying to escape. His children were killed in front of his eyes, and then he was blinded. He was exiled to Babylon, where he eventually died in prison.
