2 Kings 24:19

He did that which was evil - The character of Zedekiah seems to have been weak rather than wicked. Consult Jeremiah 34; Jeremiah 37: His chief recorded sins were:

(1) his refusal to be guided in his political conduct by Jeremiah’s counsels, while nevertheless he admitted him to be a true Yahweh-prophet; and

(2) his infraction of the allegiance which he had sworn to Nebuchadnezzar.
