While Zedekiah ruled by the sufferance of Nebuchadnezzar, who placed him on the throne (see 2 Kings 24:17-19), he and the neighboring kings who paid tribute to Babylon did not give up hope of freeing themselves from the Chaldean yoke. The experience of Jer. 27 occurred in the 4th year of Zedekiah, about 593 B.C. (see on ch. 28:1).
