2 Kings 23:31-24:7

New American Standard Bible

^31 (A)Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was ^(B)Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. ³² He did evil in the sight of the Lord, ^(C)in accordance with all that his forefathers had done. ³³ And ^(D)Pharaoh Neco imprisoned him at ^(E)Riblah in the land of ^(F)Hamath, so that he would not reign in Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a fine of ^[a]a hundred talents of silver and ^[b]a talent of gold.

Jehoiakim Made King by Pharaoh

³⁴ Then Pharaoh Neco made ^(G)Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of his father Josiah, and he ^(H)changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz and ^[c](I)brought him to Egypt, and he died there. ³⁵ So Jehoiakim ^(J)gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh, but he assessed the land in order to give the money at the ^[d]command of Pharaoh. He collected the silver and gold from the people of the land, each according to his assessment, to give to Pharaoh Neco.

^36 (K)Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. ³⁷ He did evil in the sight of the Lord, ^(L)in accordance with all that his forefathers had done.

Babylon Controls Jehoiakim

24 ^(M)In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years; then he turned and revolted against him. ² And the Lord sent against him ^(N)bands of Chaldeans, ^(O)bands of Arameans, ^(P)bands of Moabites, and bands of Ammonites. He sent them against Judah to destroy it, ^(Q)in accordance with the word of the Lord which He had spoken through His servants the prophets. ^3 (R)It indeed came upon Judah at the ^[e]command of the Lord, to remove them from His sight ^(S)due to the sins of Manasseh, in accordance with everything that he had done, ⁴ and ^(T)also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the Lord was unwilling to forgive. ⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Jehoiachin Reigns

⁶ So ^(U)Jehoiakim ^[f]lay down with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin became king in his place. ⁷ Now ^(V)the king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, ^(W)because the king of Babylon had taken everything that belonged to the king of Egypt from ^(X)the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
