Zedekiah was the last King of Judah (r. 600-586 BC) before the complete occupation of Nebuchadnezzar's Neo-Babylonian Empire. Although he was the son of righteous king Josiah, Zedekiah is considered to be a wicked king, and it was during his reign that Jerusalem and the Temple of Solomon were destroyed by the Babylonians. [1] It was during the first year of Zedekiah's reign that Lehi and his family departed Jerusalem for the Promised Land. [2] --Steveflash1 13:36, 11 August 2007 (MDT)
