Three months after Jehoiachin becomes king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon captures Jerusalem and takes Jehoiachin and his family and most of Jerusalem's citizens captive to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar makes Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king in his place and changes his name to Zedekiah.
Because the people of Ammon gloat at Judah's defeat, Jeremiah announces God's judgment against them. Because the people of Edom gloat at Judah's defeat, both Jeremiah and Obadiah announce God's judgment against them.
At whose defeat am I tempted to gloat? God, deliver me!
