2 Kings 23:29-37
29In his daysH3117 Pharaoh–nechohH6549 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 went upH5927 against the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 to the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578: and kingH4428 JosiahH2977 wentH3212 againstH7125 him; and he slewH4191 him at MegiddoH4023, when he had seenH7200 him. 30And his servantsH5650 carried him in a chariotH7392 deadH4191 from MegiddoH4023, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his own sepulchreH6900. And the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, and anointedH4886 him, and made him kingH4427 in his father’sH1 stead.
31JehoahazH3059 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537, the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841.1 32And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068, according to all that his fathersH1 had doneH6213. 33And Pharaoh–nechohH6549 put him in bandsH631 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, that he might not reignH4427 in JerusalemH3389; and putH5414 the landH776 to a tributeH6066 of an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and a talentH3603 of goldH2091.23 34And Pharaoh–nechohH6549 made EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4427 in the room of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, and turnedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079, and tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 awayH3947: and he cameH935 to EgyptH4714, and diedH4191 there. 35And JehoiakimH3079 gaveH5414 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 to PharaohH6547; but he taxedH6186 the landH776 to giveH5414 the moneyH3701 according to the commandmentH6310 of PharaohH6547: he exactedH5065 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, of every oneH376 according to his taxationH6187, to giveH5414 it unto Pharaoh–nechohH6549.
36JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 elevenH6240H259 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was ZebudahH2080, the daughterH1323 of PedaiahH6305 of RumahH7316. 37And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068, according to all that his fathersH1 had doneH6213.
