যিৰূচালেম আৰু যিহূদাৰ ওপৰত যিহোৱা ক্রুদ্ধ হোৱাৰ কাৰণে এই দুই দেশক তেওঁ নিজৰ সন্মুখৰ পৰা দূৰ নকৰা পর্যন্ত এই সকলো দশা ঘটি আছিল। পাছত চিদিকিয়াই বেবিলনৰ ৰজাৰ বিৰুদ্ধে বিদ্ৰোহ কৰিলে।

What Does This Mean?

This verse tells us that because God was angry with the people of Jerusalem and Judah, they were forced to leave their land. Zedekiah, the king, rebelled against the king of Babylon, which was a result of God's anger.

Explained for Children

Imagine you have a friend who gets very upset when you don't follow the rules. One day, you decide to break a big rule, and your friend tells you to leave the playground. That's kind of what happened here. God was upset with the people, so when Zedekiah broke a big rule by rebelling, God made the people leave their home.

Historical Background

The book of 2 Kings was written by an unknown author, likely around the 6th century BC. It was written for the people of Israel in exile to remind them of God's faithfulness and the consequences of disobedience. The verse describes a time when the kingdom of Judah was under the rule of the Babylonians.

Living It Out Today

In modern terms, this verse can be applied to situations where we make choices that lead to negative consequences. For example, if someone keeps ignoring the rules at work, they might eventually be fired. Just like Zedekiah, our actions can lead to outcomes we did not expect or want.
