anyone who violates Creon's decree will be stoned to death outside the city walls.
Theban King Creon issued a decree for Eteocles and Polyneices, who were his nephews and Antigone's brothers. The decree allowed Eteocles to receive proper funerary procedures since he was loyal to Thebes in the battle against Argos. At the same time, the decree denied those same god-given rights to Polyneices, who was disloyal to Thebes in the conflict.
When Creon and the audience learn of Haemon and Eurydice's suicide. This is the falling action/conclusion of what Creon's decree and his actions have entailed.
That kings do what they must is the way in which the chorus leader reacts to Creon's decree in Oedipus Rex by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader is one of Thebes' most accomplished, respected and senior citizens. He therefore starts from a position of support for Theban King Creon. So he validates what Creon says and does ... in the beginning.
His excessive pride, He doesn't want to show he was wrong.
It was Antigone; Creon's decree was that Polynices was not be be given burial rights but Antigone violated this decree by burying the body of her brother.

yes, he does not like the fact that Antigone(being a female) going against his word
Creon believed family relationships were not as important as the well-being of the state (government and people). In his decree, he informed his people that he had no use for those who value personal relationships (family relationships) above the state's.
It is the non-burial decree that Creon issues in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon decides to differentiate between Thebans who are disloyal and loyal during the first civil war over the Theban royal succession. He does so legally. He issues an edict whereby the god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials are denied to the disloyal Theban dead.
To decree means to issue an official under a legal authority. This the same as to command, mandate, proclaim and so much more.
Theban King Creon issued a decree that was counterproductive to the well-being of his city and his family. By that decree, he denied the god-given rights of proper burial to those who had fought against Thebes in the recent battle with the Argive enemy. The King issued such a decree to give preferential treatment to Thebans who had remained loyal to Thebes. For Creon felt that once an enemy, always an enemy. It didn't matter if that enemy started out in life as a relative, friend or fellow Theban. And so the King didn't want foes to be treated as well as friends.
She knew that King Creon had issued a decree that noone should bury him. She wanted him to be buried but was fearful for her life
