2 Kings 23:29-35
29In his daysH3117 Pharaoh-Nechoh kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 wentH5927 up against the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 to the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578; and kingH4428 JosiahH2977 wentH5927 against him; but [Nechoh] slew him at MegiddoH4023, when he had seenH7200 him.
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's stead.
31JehoahazH3059 was twenty-three yearsH8141 old when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389; and his mother's nameH8034 was HamutalH2537, daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841.
32And he did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathersH1 had done.
33And Pharaoh-Nechoh had him boundH631 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, that he might not reignH4427 in JerusalemH3389; and laid a tribute upon the landH776 of a hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and a talentH3603 of goldH2091.
34And Pharaoh-Nechoh made EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4427 instead of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, and changedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079. And he tookH3947 JehoahazH3059; and he cameH935 to EgyptH4714, and diedH4191 there.
35And JehoiakimH3079 gaveH5414 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 to PharaohH6547; but he laid a proportional tax on the landH776 to giveH5414 the moneyH3701 according to the command of PharaohH6547: he exacted the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, of every oneH376 according to his estimation, to giveH5414 it to Pharaoh-Nechoh.
