2 Chronicles 36:1-6 ▼

1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.

2 Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

3 The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

4 The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in Yahweh his God’s sight.

6 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
