2 Kings 23:29-37
291In his days 2Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt went up to the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates. And King Josiah went to meet him, and when Pharaoh Neco saw him he killed him at 3Megiddo. 304His servants drove 5his body in a chariot from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. 6Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
317Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was 8Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 32He did evil in the sight of the Lord, 9according to all that his fathers had done. 3310Pharaoh Neco imprisoned him at 11Riblah in the land of 12Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a fine of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 34Pharaoh Neco made 13Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and 14changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away and 1516brought him to Egypt, and he died there. 35So Jehoiakim 17gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land in order to give the money at the 18command of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land, each according to his valuation, to give it to Pharaoh Neco.
3619Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. 37He did evil in the sight of the Lord, 20according to all that his fathers had done.
