2 Kings 23:30-37 ▼

30 And his servants moved his body in a chariot from Megiddo, and they brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.

31 Jehoahaz was a son of twenty-three years in his reigning, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.

32 And he did evil in the eyes of YHWH according to all that his fathers had done.

33 And Pharaoh Neco bound him at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem. And he imposed a tribute on the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

34 And Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim son of Josiah king in place of Josiah his father, and he turned his name to Jehoiakim. And he took Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt, and he died there.

35 And the silver and the gold Jehoiakim gave to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land to give the silver according to the mouth of Pharaoh. From each man, according to his assessment, he exacted the silver and the gold from the people of the land to give it to Pharaoh Neco.

36 Jehoiakim was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah from Rumah.

37 And he did evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers had done.
