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.
