Context of 2 Chronicles 36:3

1The people of Judah chose Josiah's son, Jehoahaz, to become king in Jerusalem after his father. 2Jehoahaz was 23 years old when he became king. He ruled as king in Jerusalem for three months. The king of Egypt stopped Jehoahaz from ruling in Jerusalem. He made Judah pay tax to him. It was 3,400 kilograms of silver and 34 kilograms of gold. 4The king of Egypt chose Eliakim, Jehoahaz's brother, to rule as king over Judah and Jerusalem. He changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. But Necho took Jehoiakim's brother Jehoahaz away to Egypt. 5Jehoiakim was 25 years old when he became king. He ruled for 11 years as king in Jerusalem. He did things that the Lord his God said were evil.

Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 36:3

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3The king of Egypt put him down - He now considered Judah to be conquered, and tributary to him and because the people had set up Jehoahaz without his consent, he dethroned him, and put his brother in his place, perhaps for no other reason but to show his supremacy. For other particulars, see the notes on 2 Kings 23:31-35; (note).Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-4Jehoahaz, also known as Shallum (see Jeremiah 22:11), was not Josiah’s oldest son (1 Chronicles 3:15). The reason he was chosen as king is not explained.
