2 Kings 23:30-34
301His servants carried 2his body in a chariot from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. 3Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
314Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was 5Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 32He did evil in the sight of the Lord, 6in accordance with all that his forefathers had done. 33And 7Pharaoh Neco imprisoned him at 8Riblah in the land of 9Hamath, so that he would not reign in Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a fine of 10a hundred talents of silver and 11a talent of gold. 34Then Pharaoh Neco made 12Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of his father Josiah, and he 13changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz and 1415brought him to Egypt, and he died there.
