30aAnd his servants drove 1his body in a chariot from Megiddo and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. bThen the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.

Jehoahaz’s Reign and Imprisonment

31aJehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was bHamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

32And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, aaccording to all that his fathers had done.

33aAnd Pharaoh Neco imprisoned him at bRiblah in the land of cHamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a fine of one hundred 1talents of silver and one talent of gold.

Jehoiakim Made King by Pharaoh

34Then Pharaoh Neco made aEliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father and bchanged his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz and 1cbrought him to Egypt, and he died there.

35So Jehoiakim agave the silver and gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land in order to give the money at the 1command of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land, each according to his valuation, to give it to Pharaoh Neco.
