Zedekiah and Jeremiah

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

Both were contemporary with Lehi. Zedekiah, the king, ended his days in Babylon, a captive. Jeremiah, the prophet, loved his people and country and refused to accept favors of the Babylonian monarch. The panic-stricken politicians who fled to Egypt, in order to escape the vengeance of the Babylonians, carried Jeremiah with them, fearing, no doubt, his influence with the foreign rulers in Jerusalem.
