through ... anger of ... Lord ... Zedekiah rebelled - His “anger” against Jerusalem, determining Him to “cast out” His people “from His presence” heretofore manifested there, led Him to permit Zedekiah to rebel (2Ki 23:26, 2Ki 23:27; compare Exo 9:12; Exo 10:1; Rom 9:18). That rebellion, being in violation of his oath “by God,” was sure to bring down God’s vengeance (2Ch 36:13; Eze 17:15, Eze 17:16, Eze 17:18).
