| | Zedekiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Zedekiah or Tzidkiyáhu (צִדְקִיָּהוּ "Righteous of/is the LORD", Standard Hebrew Ẓidqiyyáhu, Tiberian Hebrew Ṣiḏqiyyāhû; BoM Arabic صدقيا Ṣidqiyyā) was the last king of Judah. | | | According to the Book of Mormon, Zedekiah's surviving son Mulek escaped death and travelled across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas, where he founded a nation that later merges with the Nephites. | | | The prophet Jeremiah was his counsellor, yet "he did evil in the sight of the Lord" (2 Kings 24:19, 20; Jeremiah 52:2, 3). |

| | It may be possible that Mulek's description as a "son" of King Zedekiah in Helaman 6:10 and 8:21, as well as the apparent reference to Malkiyahu (Mulek) king of the son in Jeremiah 38:6, might not refer to a direct biological relationship. | | | If so, the report of the execution of Zedekiah's sons in 2 Kings 25:7 could refer to his "blood sons," and not whatever kind of "son" Mulek was. | | | Was this MalkiYahu a son of King Zedekiah? |

| | Hence Zedekiah’s revolt was the betrayal of his brothers: for this reason the Prophet adds, that the strong ones of the people were led away to Babylon; that is, those of the first rank, who were held in honor by the people. | | | We said that Zedekiah was the uncle of Jehoiakim: he was placed on the throne beyond all expectation; because, if Jehoiakim had begat sons when he was still secure, they would have been his successors: hence it was an extraordinary advantage to Zedekiah in being placed on the throne. | | | Here God shows that, humanly speaking, Zedekiah’s revolt could not prosper; for even profane men are always persuaded that the perfidy of him who breaks his word will not go unpunished, especially in treaties, which are held sacred by common consent. |

| | Before rejecting the words of the prophets, Zedekiah would have done well to ask himself if there was any way that the statements of both prophets could be totally true. | | | An excellent example of a difficult prophecy intended to try someone's faith is the case of two separate prophecies given to Zedekiah, the last king of Judah. | | | Because these prophets apparently disagreed, Zedekiah refused to believe them, even on the many other points on which they did agree. |

This is the reason that the caves are also called "Zedekiah's Grotto." At the present time, the caves end soon after the dripping spring. |
