A Spiritual Conspiracy
Commentators clarify that the "conspiracy" was not a political plot against the king, but a widespread, unified rebellion against God Himself. The people of Judah and Jerusalem were deliberately banding together to reject God's covenant, His laws, and His worship in favor of idolatry. This wasn't a minor lapse but a coordinated, intentional turning away from God.
