And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah - Of the siege and taking of Jerusalem referred to here, and the making of Zedekiah king instead of Jeconiah, see 2 Kings 24:1; (note), etc., and the notes there.
It is evident that Zedekiah was well affected toward Jeremiah. In Jeremiah 3738, dealing with events during the siege of Jerusalem, we have an account of his relations with Jeremiah and of the prophet‘s personal history up to the capture of the city.
