He did that which was evil - The character of Zedekiah seems to have been weak rather than wicked. Consult Jeremiah. 34; 37: His chief recorded sins were:
(1) his refusal to be guided in his political conduct by Jeremiah's counsels, while nevertheless he admitted him to be a true Yahweh-prophet; and
(2) his infraction of the allegiance which he had sworn to Nebuchadnezzar.
He did - evil - How astonishing is this! not one of them takes warning by the judgments of God, which fell on their sinful predecessors.
