This characterization is important because Zedekiah is portrayed in the incidents that follow in 37–38 as seeking the Lord ’s help or seeking a word from the Lord . However though he did send to inquire of Jeremiah three times, he did not pay attention to the warnings that he received in reply and was ultimately responsible for the fall of Jerusalem (). As elsewhere in the book of Jeremiah, Jeconiah’s reign is passed over in silence because it was negligible and because Jeremiah did not wish to legitimize the hopes that many in Israel and Babylon had in his returning from exile and resuming rule over Judah (see further the study notes on 22:24, 30 and 33:30 ).","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Jeremiah%2037%3A2/1"}

Both of them are against the background of the siege of Jerusalem which was instigated by Zedekiah’s rebelling against Nebuchadnezzar and sending to Egypt for help (cf. Ezek 17:15 ). The earlier delegation ( 21:1-2 ) was sent before Nebuchadnezzar had clamped down on Jerusalem because the Judean forces at that time were still fighting against the Babylonian forces in the open field (see 21:4 and the translator’s note there). Here the siege has been lifted because the Babylonian troops had heard a report that the Egyptian army was on the way into Palestine to give the Judeans the promised aid (vv. 5, 7 ). The request is briefer here than in 21:2 but the intent is no doubt the same (see also the study note on 21:2 ).","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Jeremiah%2037%3A3/1"}
