2 Kings 23:30-37

30And his servantsH5650 carried him in a chariot deadH4191 from MegiddoH4023, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his own sepulchre. And the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, and anointedH4886 him, and made him kingH4427 in his father’sH1 stead.

31JehoahazH3059 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 old when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537 the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841. 32And he did that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathersH1 had done. 33And Pharaoh-necoh putH5414 him in bonds at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, that he might not reignH4427 in JerusalemH3389; and putH5414 the landH776 to a tribute of a hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and a talentH3603 of goldH2091. 34And Pharaoh-necoh made EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4427 in the room of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, and changedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079: but he tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 awayH3947; and he cameH935 to EgyptH4714, and diedH4191 there. 35And JehoiakimH3079 gaveH5414 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 to PharaohH6547; but he taxed the landH776 to giveH5414 the moneyH3701 according to the commandment of PharaohH6547: he exacted the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, of every oneH376 according to his taxation, to giveH5414 it unto Pharaoh-necoh.

36JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 old when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 eleven yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was Zebidah the daughterH1323 of PedaiahH6305 of RumahH7316. 37And he did that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathersH1 had done.
