2 Chronicles 36:1-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jehoahaz King of Judah
36 The people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father. 2 Jehoahaz[a] was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned as king in Jerusalem for three months.
3 The king of Egypt removed him from the kingship in Jerusalem. He also imposed on the land a penalty of one hundred talents of silver and a talent[b] of gold. 4 The king of Egypt made Eliakim, Jehoahaz’s brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim’s brother, and carried him off to Egypt.
