Lesson for July 24: 11 Kings 24:
20—25: 12.
Golden Text: Galatians 6: 7.
In preceding lessons there have
been indications of the sad condi-
tion of Judah, with the greater part
of the people exiled to Babylon
and the poorer people left in the
land. Now we think of the final
min when Nebuchadnezzar’s gen-
eral came with a great army for
the destruction of Jerusalem.
The occasion for this was the
rebellion of Zedekiah, the last of
the feeble kings of Judah following
the reign of Josiah. Nebuchadnez-
zar, in the first overthrow of Jeru-
salem, carried the pick of the peo-
ple into Babylon, as skilled lab-
orers have been deported in recent
tragic years to serve their con-
querors.
The Jews who remained after the
earlier captivity were made vas-
sals of Babylon and this situation
was continued for eleven years
under Zedekiah, whom Nebuchad-
nezzar had made king. At the end
of eleven years, the poor king tried
to play politics, violated his oath
to the Babylonian ruler, entering
in an alliance with neighboring
small nations and rebelling against
their master.
The territory of Judah was soon
overrun, but Jerusalem held out
for a year and a half. Famine
brought the end. Trying to escape
by flight, Zedekiah was captured
near Jericho. In Babylon his sons
were slain before him, his eyes
were put out, and he was kept in
nrison till his death.
