2 Chronicles 36:1-7 ▼

1 The people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king to succeed his father in Jerusalem.

2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

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

4 The king of Egypt made his brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but Neco took his brother Jehoahaz and carried him to Egypt.

5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.

6 Against him King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came up, and bound him with fetters to take him to Babylon.

7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon and put them in his palace in Babylon.
