2 Kings 23:29-35
29During Josiah’s reignH3117, PharaohH6547 NecoH5224 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 marched upH5927 toH5921 help the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 atH5921 the EuphratesH6578 RiverH5104. KingH4428 JosiahH2977 went outH1980 to confront himH7122, but Neco facedH7200 himH853 and killed himH4191 at MegiddoH4023.
30From MegiddoH4023 his servantsH5650 carried his bodyH4191 in a chariotH7392, brought him toH935 JerusalemH3389, and buried himH6912 in his own tombH6900. Then the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, anointed himH4886, and made him kingH4427 in place ofH8478 his fatherH1.
31JehoahazH3059 was twenty-threeH6242H7969 years oldH1121H8141 when he became kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 threeH7969 monthsH2320. His mother’sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537 daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414; she was from LibnahH3841. 32And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, just asH3605 his fathersH1 had doneH6213.
33And PharaohH6547 NecoH5224 imprisoned JehoahazH631 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574 so that he could not reignH4427 in JerusalemH3389, and he imposedH5414 onH5921 Judah a levyH6066 of a hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH37011 and a talentH3603 of goldH2091.2 34Then PharaohH6547 NecoH5224 made EliakimH471 sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4427 in place ofH8478 his fatherH1 JosiahH2977, and he changedH5437 Eliakim’s nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079. But Neco tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 and carried him offH935 to EgyptH4714, where he diedH4191H8033.
35So JehoiakimH3079 paidH5414 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 to PharaohH6547 Neco, butH389 to meetH5921 Pharaoh’sH6547 demandH6310 he taxedH6186 the landH776 and exactedH5065 the silverH3701 andH853 the goldH2091 from the peopleH5971H776, eachH376 according to his wealthH6187.
