From the point of view of Deuteronomistic Histrorians, the fall of Jerusalem is a punishment for the sins of the king and the nation as the whole.

Zedekiah's son was executed, and the entire kingly house was disposed. The temple was plundered and destroyed, marking and end to the Deuteronomistic History.
