The wrath of the Lord was aroused

2 Chronicles 36:11-23
Zedekiah was became king when he was 21 years old, and he reigned in Jerusalem 11 years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke the word of the Lord. He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar.
They mocked God's messengers, despised his words and scoffed at his prophets until the wrath of the Lord was aroused against his people and there was no remedy.
God gave Zedekiah and the nation many warnings through Jeremiah and the other prophets, but they were all ignored. The destruction of the city and Temple are seen as God's punishment - a judgment that spelt death or exile for the whole nation.
The exile lasted about 70 years, until the Persians took over the Babylonian Empire.
Why?
Sabbath: The Chronicler implies that these Sabbaths were not kept under the kings.
When the book of Ezra was detached from Chronicles, these verses were retained at the end of Chronicles and repeated at the beginning of Ezra. Chronicles could not end at verse 21. God had not utterly abandoned his people. Jerusalem had spoken scalding燙 words of God' judgment and condemnation. But he had also spoken of God's continuing love for his exiled people and of their eventual return.
After Josiah, Judah lasted for 22 years and destroyed by the Babylonian for their sins.
How?
God loves his people and God claims his judgment. His love and righteousness endure forever.
