31 Jehoahaz (YHWH has seized) was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem (city of peace) three months. His mother’s name was Hamutal (father-in-law is protection) daughter of Jeremiah (whom YHWH has appointed); she was from Libnah (pavement). 32 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD {YHWH}, just as his fathers had done. 33 And Pharaoh (great house) Neco (lame) imprisoned Jehoahaz at Riblah (fertility) in the land of Hamath (fortress) so that he could not reign in Jerusalem (city of peace), and he imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver <3.77 t / 3.42 mt> and a talent of gold <75.4 lb / 34.2 kg>. 34 Then Pharaoh (great house) Neco (lame) made Eliakim (GGod sets up) son of Josiah (whom YHWH heals) king in place of his father Josiah, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim (YHWH raises up). But Neco took Jehoahaz (YHWH has seized) and carried him off to Egypt (land of bondage), where he died. 2 Kings 23:31-34, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
