One of Joseph's brothers didn't want to sell him. One of Yeshua's brothers did. Both were betrayed to one group, passed on to another, and put in the ground by a foreign empire.
Genesis 27:26-30 #vayeshev
And in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, graciously freed Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison.
2 Kings 25:27 ESV
Like Joseph, Jehoiachin was brought out of prison to fellowship with the king. This happened in the 37th year of Jehoiachin's exile. Joseph was freed when he was 30 years old and the 7 years of plenty ended in his 37th year.
Then they captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they passed sentence on him.
2 Kings 25:6 ESV
Zedekiah ignored the admonitions of Jeremiah and defied Nebuchadnezzar. You can't run from God, though. If he had submitted from the start, he might have even kept his throne, but instead his sons were killed, and he was blinded and imprisoned.
The greater the likely impact of your decisions, the greater your need for wise, godly counsel.

There are many believers in the United States who desire for the Ten Commandments to be posted in more places. Of course there are others who object to this for various reasons. A larger and more troubling question would be; Has the modern Christian church abandoned the Ten Commandments? Revelation 2:14, “But I have a few things against you: You have some there who follow the teaching of Balaam. Balaam taught Balak how to cause the people of Israel to sin. They sinned by eating food offered to idols and by taking part in sexual sins.”
