1 Then the people of the land took Joahaz the son of Josiah and made him king in place of his father in Jerusalem.

2 Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem.

3 Then the king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on the land of a hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.

4 The king of Egypt made Joahaz’s brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took his brother Joahaz and brought him to Egypt.
