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.
