2 Chronicles 36:1-8

1Then the people of the land took Joahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.

2Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned [only] three months in Jerusalem.

3Then the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on the land of a hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.

4The king of Egypt made Eliakim, the brother of Joahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Joahaz his brother, and brought him to Egypt.

5Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord his God.

6Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him and bound him with bronze [chains] to take him to Babylon.

7Nebuchadnezzar also brought some of the articles of the house (temple) of the Lord to Babylon and put them in his temple there.

8Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the repulsive acts which he committed, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And his son Jehoiachin became king in his place.
