Wicked Kings?

Post by seer » Fri Oct 24, 2008 8:18 am

I seem to remember that in the Old Testament, when the people got particularly wicked, God set a wicked King over them. Does anyone know where these references are?
Thanks to the human heart by which we live, thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. Wordsworth

It may not be the reference you are thinking of, but Zechariah 11:15-16 mentions this idea. The evil king is referred to as "a foolish shepherd," but the concept is the same.
