2 Kings 23:30-34
New American Standard Bible
30 (A)His servants carried [a]his body in a chariot from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. (B)Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
31 (C)Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was (D)Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 32 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, (E)in accordance with all that his forefathers had done. 33 And (F)Pharaoh Neco imprisoned him at (G)Riblah in the land of (H)Hamath, so that he would not reign in Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a fine of [b]a hundred talents of silver and [c]a talent of gold.
Jehoiakim Made King by Pharaoh
34 Then Pharaoh Neco made (I)Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of his father Josiah, and he (J)changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz and [d](K)brought him to Egypt, and he died there.
