And I realized that and voice-verified

That's the reference. voice-verified

There we are, back to our actually word of God. voice-verified

We have Zedekiah capture, right? voice-verified

This is the conclusion of this, the whole siege of Jerusalem and the final people who are being carted off to Babylon. voice-verified

And two things to kind of note, well, there's a number of things to note, but I'm just going to note two things, three things. voice-verified

One is Zedekiah running away. voice-verified

Realize that here are the people of the city of Jerusalem who have been besieged for so long and there is no food. voice-verified

Every one of them has been suffering, including Zedekiah. voice-verified

Obviously, the king is suffering as well, but they don't get a chance to run away. voice-verified

Zedekiah runs away. voice-verified

And in this, he reveals, you know, he reveals his character. voice-verified

I mean, a lot of us probably would be, if we had the chance to run, we would run. voice-verified

But remember, Zedekiah had the opportunity to not make himself an enemy of Nebuchadnezzar. voice-verified

He had an opportunity to listen to Jeremiah and to essentially surrender. voice-verified

And what would have happened then? voice-verified

Well, what would have happened is probably to him what happened to Jehoiakim. voice-verified

where he was arrested. voice-verified

He was put in prison, but his whole family wasn't destroyed. voice-verified

But since Zedekiah not only rebelled against the Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, but he also ran, you have that sense of, hmm, some kind of insight into his character that we realize there's a time to stand and fight. voice-verified
