2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 36:12–13

¹²And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke for the LORD.

¹³He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened^h his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
