Jeremiah 52:2 meaning
The final days of Judah's last king, Zedekiah, illustrate the culmination of a series of poor leadership choices that led the nation to its tragic downfall. His reign was marred by rebellion against Babylon, which resulted in disaster not only for himself but for the entire city of Jerusalem. Zedekiah, who began his rule at the age of 21 after being appointed by Nebuchadnezzar, failed to heed the warnings of the prophet Jeremiah and instead emulated the evil deeds of previous kings like Jehoiakim.
