Zephaniah 1:8

When the Lord slew Judah like a sacrifice, He would punish the king’s sons and those who wore foreign clothing. The king’s sons, the future rulers of the nation, bore special responsibility for conditions in the land. Josiah’s sons did indeed suffer Yahweh’s punishment. Jehoahaz was taken captive to Egypt (2 Kings 23:34). Jehoiakim was defeated by Nebuchadnezzar and died in Jerusalem (2 Kings 24:1-6). Josiah’s grandson, Jehoiachin, was taken captive to Babylon (2 Kings 24:8-16). The last son of Josiah to rule over Judah, Zedekiah, was blinded and also taken captive to Babylon (2 Kings 24:18 to 2 Kings 25:7). Wearing foreign garments evidently expressed love and support for non-Israelite values and so incurred God’s wrath (cf. Numbers 15:38; Deuteronomy 22:11-12).
