Mambo weBhabhironi ainzi Nebhukadhinezari, akanga achikunda nyika dzakawanda. Paakakunda Jerusarema kekutanga, akatapa machinda, masoja, varume vaiva neunyanzvi hwakasiyana-siyana naMambo Jehoyakini, akaenda navo vese kuBhabhironi. Akatorawo pfuma yese yaiva mutemberi yaJehovha. Zvadaro, Nebhukadhinezari akagadza Zedhekiya kuti ave mambo weJudha.

Zedhekiya akambotanga achiteerera Nebhukadhinezari. Asi vanhu venyika dzakanga dziri pedyo uye vaprofita venhema vakakurudzira Zedhekiya kuti apandukire Bhabhironi. Jeremiya akamunyevera kuti: ‘Kana ukapanduka, munyika yeJudha muchaurayiwa vanhu, muchava nenzara uye muchava nezvirwere.’

Paakanga atonga kwemakore 8, Zedhekiya akafunga kupandukira Bhabhironi. Akakumbira masoja eIjipiti kuti amubatsire. Nebhukadhinezari akabva atumira masoja ake kuti arwise Jerusarema, uye masoja acho akabva akomba guta racho. Jeremiya akaudza Zedhekiya kuti: ‘Jehovha ati kana ukasarenda, hapana chinoparadzwa, zvese iwe neguta racho. Asi kana ukaramba, vaBhabhironi vachapisa Jerusarema, uye vachakutora vokuvharira mujeri.’ Zedhekiya akabva ati: ‘Handisi kuzosarenda!’

Zedhekiya akatiza muJerusarema, asi vaBhabhironi vakamutevera. Vakazomubata ava pedyo neJeriko vakaenda naye kwaiva naNebhukadhinezari. Mambo weBhabhironi akaita kuti Zedhekiya aone vanakomana vake vachiurayiwa. Nebhukadhinezari akabva atushura maziso aZedhekiya, ndokumuvharira mujeri, umo maakazofira. Asi Jehovha akavimbisa vanhu veJudha kuti: ‘Kana makore 70 apera, ndichakudzosai kumusha kwenyu kuJerusarema.’
