Joe: Alright Jamie, we have a real Bible expert here with us today, let's get started. So, what can you tell us about the 2 Chronicles 36?

Bible Expert: Well, 2 Chronicles 36 is all about the rise and fall of King Zedekiah of Judah and the consequences of his decisions. Zedekiah rebelled against Babylon and their king Nebuchadnezzar and it ultimately led to the fall of Jerusalem and the exile of the people of Judah to Babylon.

Joe: Whoa, that's heavy! What consequences did Zedekiah face for his decisions?

Bible Expert: After Zedekiah rebelled, Nebuchadnezzar was angry and invaded Judah. He captured Zedekiah and took him and all the people of Jerusalem to Babylon. Jerusalem was destroyed and the temple was burned to the ground.

Joe: Wow, that's intense. What happened to Zedekiah?

Bible Expert: Zedekiah was taken to Babylon and his eyes were put out. He was kept in prison until he died.

Joe: Yikes, that's rough. So, what was the lesson here?

Bible Expert: The lesson here is to obey God and trust in him. Zedekiah failed to do this and it led to the destruction of his kingdom and his own suffering. God is always faithful, and those who trust in him and obey him will be blessed.
