“And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.”
The superscription: 'Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king in place of Coniah.' Zedekiah's installation by Babylon underscores his status as a vassal. Theologically, God ordains even pagan rulers.
