2 Kings 23:32-34
Easy-to-Read Version
32 Jehoahaz did what the Lord said was wrong. He did all the same things that his ancestors had done.
33 Pharaoh Neco put Jehoahaz in prison at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Jehoahaz could not rule in Jerusalem. Pharaoh Neco forced Judah to pay 7500 pounds[a] of silver and 75 pounds[b] of gold.
34 Pharaoh Neco made Josiah’s son Eliakim the new king. Eliakim took the place of Josiah his father. Pharaoh Neco changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. And Pharaoh Neco took Jehoahaz away to Egypt where he died.
