2 Kings 23:29-35

291In his daysH3117 2PharaohH6549 NecoH6549 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 wentH5927 upH5927 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 at the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578. And KingH4428 JosiahH2977 wentH1980 to meetH7122 him, and when Pharaoh Neco sawH7200 him he killedH4191 him at 3MegiddoH4023. 304His servantsH5650 carriedH7392 5his bodyH4191 inH7392 aH7392 chariotH7392 from MegiddoH4023, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389 and buriedH6912 him in his own tombH6900. 6Then the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 and anointedH4886 him and madeH4427 him kingH4427 inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 his fatherH1.

317JehoahazH3059 was twenty-threeH6242H7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 for threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389; and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was 8HamutalH2537 the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841. 32He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, 9in accordance with allH3605 that his forefathersH1 had doneH6213. 33And 10PharaohH6549 NecoH6549 imprisonedH631 him at 11RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of 12HamathH2574, so that he would not reignH4427 in JerusalemH3389; and he imposedH5414 on the landH776 a fineH6066 of 13a hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and 14a talentH3603 of goldH2091. 34Then PharaohH6549 NecoH6549 madeH4427 15EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4427 inH8478 the placeH8478 ofH8478 his fatherH1 JosiahH2977, and he 16changedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079. But he tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 and 1718broughtH935 him to EgyptH4714, and he diedH4191 thereH8033. 35So JehoiakimH3079 19gaveH5414 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 to PharaohH6547, but he assessedH6186 the landH776 in order to giveH5414 the moneyH3701 at the 20commandH6310 of PharaohH6547. He collectedH5065 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 from the peopleH5971 of the landH776, eachH376 according to his assessmentH6187, to giveH5414 to PharaohH6549 NecoH6549.
