 II Chronicles 36

Jehoahaz Taken Captive to Egypt

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

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

3 For the king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and condemned the land to a levy of one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.

4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king of Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiachin. But Jehoahaz took Necho his brother and brought him to Egypt.
