[Note] that Zedekiah, impious in every respect, even revolted from king Nebuchadnezzar -- breaking the oath which he had sworn in God's name not to revolt; but [Nebuchadnezzar] then attacked Jerusalem and besieged it for 2 years.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Σεδεκίας· ὅτι Σεδεκίας ἀσεβῶν κατὰ πάντα, καὶ τοῦ βασιλέως ἀπέστη Ναβουχοδονόσορ, τὸν ὅρκον παραβάς, ὃν ὤμοσε κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ μὴ ἀποστήσεσθαι· ὁ δὲ ἐπελθὼν ἐπολιόρκει τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔτη βʹ.

This man was a client of Nebuchanezzar (nu 7) as the last king of Judah; associated with the prophet Jeremiah (iota 162). Jerusalem was sacked after the events described here (trad. date 588 BCE), which precipitated the Jews' Babylonian Captivity.
The name is spelled S- in virtually all Greek sources.
