New Life Version
Jehoahaz Rules Judah
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king. He ruled for three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 32 Jehoahaz did what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord. He did all that his fathers had done. 33 Pharaoh Neco put him in prison at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not rule in Jerusalem. And he made the people of the land pay a tax of silver weighing as much as 100 men, and gold weighing as much as one man.
