2 KINGS—NOTE ON 2 Kings 24:18 Jehoiachin’s uncle Mattaniah ruled next, under the name of Zedekiah. He was under Babylonian control. Jeremiah 27:1 and Jeremiah 28:1 suggest that from early in his reign he was plotting a revolt, and eventually he rebelled. A two-year siege of Jerusalem followed. The city eventually fell in 587 or 586 B.C. Zedekiah fled, but was captured (see also note on 2 Chron. 36:11–16).
