Yehudah’s King Yehoahaz

2 Chr 36:1–4

2 Ki 23:30–35

36Then the people of Yehudah took Yoshiyah’s son Yehoahaz and made him king in Yerushalem to replace his father. 2Yehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned from Yerushalem for only three months 3before Egypt’s king deposed him and forced the country to pay an annual tribute of thirty kilograms of gold, and three tonnes of silver. 4Egypt’s King Neko took Yehoahaz to Egypt, and then the king made his younger brother Elyakim king over Yehudah and Yerushalem, although he changed Elyakim’s name to Yehoyakim.[ref]


30His servants brought his body back to Yerushalem from Megiddo, and they buried him in his own tomb. Then the people got his son Yehoahaz, and they anointed him and made him king in place of his father.

31Yehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned from Yerushalem for only three months. (His mother was Yirmeyah’s daughter Hamutal from Livnah.) 32He did what Yahweh had said was evil like many of his ancestors had done. 33Far-oh Nekoh took him from Yerushalem and imprisoned him at Rivlah in the Hamat region, and he forced the residents of Yehudah to pay him thirty kilograms of gold and three tonnes of silver. 34Then Nekoh appointed Yoshiyyah’s son Elyakim as the new king but changed his name to Yehoyakim. Then he took Yehoahaz to Egypt where he eventually died. 35So Yehoyakim paid the gold and silver to Far-oh by assessing the wealth of the people and then forcibly collecting the gold and silver from them to send to Far-oh Nekoh.
