After Josiah, Judah’s final kings (Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah) all do evil, and the people and priests grow ever more unfaithful, mocking God’s messengers “until there was no remedy.” So the LORD brings up the Babylonians, who slay, plunder, burn the temple, break down the walls, and carry the survivors into exile, the land keeping its sabbaths for seventy years as the prophets foretold. Yet the book ends with hope: the LORD stirs up Cyrus of Persia, who decrees that the exiles may return and rebuild the house of the LORD in Jerusalem.
