A Secret Question

Name Date

Read the Story

King Zedekiah and his servants did not listen to God's words. Still, he asked Jeremiah to pray for the people. Babylon's army left Jerusalem for a time, but God said they would come back.

Jeremiah went out to go to the land of Benjamin. A guard at the gate said he was going over to the enemy. Jeremiah said that this was false! But the princes were angry and put him in prison for many days.

Then the king sent for Jeremiah and asked him secretly, Is there any word from Yahweh? Jeremiah said, There is. He said the king would be given to the king of Babylon. Jeremiah asked not to go back to the prison. The king put him in the court of the guard. He gave him a loaf of bread each day.

Jeremiah 37 · Grade 4

Faithful Under Pressure

Name Date

Read and Think

Zedekiah was made king by Nebuchadnezzar. But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to Yahweh's words. When Egypt's army marched out, the Babylonians pulled back from Jerusalem. Zedekiah hoped the danger was over and asked Jeremiah to pray. God's answer was clear. The Babylonians would return and take the city.

During the pause, Jeremiah left to handle family business in Benjamin. A guard accused him of defecting to the Babylonians. Jeremiah denied it, but the princes beat him and locked him in a dungeon in a scribe's house, where he stayed many days.

Zedekiah secretly brought him out and asked for a word from God. Jeremiah did not soften the message. You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon. Then he asked how he had sinned to be put in prison. Zedekiah moved him to the court of the guard and gave him bread daily until the bread in the city was gone.

Jeremiah 37 · Grade 5

A King Who Asked but Would Not Obey

Name Date

Read and Think

Jeremiah 37 opens with a summary of Zedekiah's reign. But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to Yahweh's words. Zedekiah wanted God's help without God's word. When Pharaoh's army approached, the Babylonians lifted the siege, and Zedekiah sent messengers asking Jeremiah to pray. God's reply crushed any false hope. Even if Judah defeated the whole army of the Chaldeans, the wounded men would rise up and burn the city.

When Jeremiah tried to leave the city to claim his share of property in Benjamin, the captain Irijah arrested him as a deserter. Jeremiah protested, That is false! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans. The princes, who already resented his message, beat him and threw him into a dungeon cell.

Zedekiah's secret meeting reveals a tragic man. He asked, Is there any word from Yahweh? and Jeremiah answered honestly, at great personal risk. Zedekiah feared his officials more than he feared God, so he sought truth privately but would not act on it publicly. Still, he showed Jeremiah some kindness, moving him to the court of the guard with a daily loaf of bread. God preserved his prophet even as the city's food ran out.
