Orang
Zedekia
Raja Yehuda yang terakhir. Dia adalah anak ketiga Yosia, dan ibunya bernama Hamutal, anak Yeremia, dari Libna, sehingga dia adalah saudara laki-laki Yoahas (2 Raja-raja 23:31; 24:17, 18). Nama aslinya adalah Matanya; tetapi ketika Nebukadnezar mengangkatnya ke takhta sebagai penerus Yoyakhin, dia mengubah namanya menjadi Zedekia. Nabi Yeremia adalah penasihatnya, namun “ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN” (2 Raja-raja 24:19, 20; Yeremia 52:2, 3). Dia naik takhta pada usia dua puluh satu tahun. Kerajaan itu pada saat itu menjadi taklukan Nebukadnezar; tetapi, terlepas dari teguran keras dari Yeremia dan yang lainnya, serta contoh dari Yoyakhin, dia melepaskan kuk Babel dan bersekutu dengan Hofra, raja Mesir. Hal ini memicu Nebukadnezar, “beserta seluruh pasukannya” (2Raj. 25:1), maju melawan Yerusalem. Selama pengepungan ini, yang berlangsung sekitar delapan belas bulan, segala malapetaka terburuk menimpa kota yang malang itu, yang meminum cawan murka Allah sampai ke ampasnya (2 Raja-raja 25:3; Ratapan 4:4, 5, 10). Kota itu dijarah dan dihancurkan. Zedekia dan para pengikutnya, yang berusaha melarikan diri, ditawan dan dibawa ke Ribla. Di sana, setelah melihat anak-anaknya sendiri dihukum mati, matanya dicungkil, dan dengan dibelenggu rantai, dia dibawa sebagai tawanan (588 SM) ke Babel (2 Raja-raja 25:1-7; 2 Tawarikh 36:12; Yeremia 32:4, 5; Yeremia 34:2, 3; Yeremia 39:1-7; Yeremia 52:4-11; Yehezkiel 12:12), tempat dia tetap menjadi tahanan sampai hari kematiannya, entah berapa lama.
Setelah kejatuhan Yerusalem, Nebuzaradan diutus untuk menghancurkannya secara menyeluruh. Kota itu diratakan dengan tanah. Hanya sedikit dari para pemelihara kebun anggur dan petani yang diizinkan tinggal di negeri itu (Yeremia 52:16). Gedalya, bersama pasukan penjaga Kasdim yang ditempatkan di Mizpa, memerintah atas Yehuda (2 Raja-raja 25:22, 24; Yer. 2 Raja-raja 40:1, 2, 5, 6).
