In the Old Testament, the last king of Judah (2 Kgs. 24: 17-20; 25: 2-7). Zedekiah imprisoned the prophet Jeremiah (Jer. 32: 1-5), and Jeremiah prophesied Zedekiah’s captivity (Jer. 34: 2-8, 21). Lehi and his family lived in Jerusalem during the first year of the reign of Zedekiah (1 Ne. 1: 4). All but one of the sons of Zedekiah were slain; his son Mulek escaped to the Western Hemisphere (Jer. 52: 10; Omni 1: 15; Hel. 8: 21).
