EZEKIEL 17:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?”
Despite this binding covenant, the king rebels by sending ambassadors to Egypt, seeking horses and many soldiers, violating the vassal treaty and attempting to strengthen himself through Egyptian alliance. This rebellion represents the fundamental breach of covenant that provokes God's judgment, combining political treaty-violation with theological infidelity. Zedekiah's desperate gamble reveals the spiritual weakness of leaders who forget that security comes from God, not military alliances.
