Jehoiakim Made King by Pharaoh

³⁴ Then Pharaoh Neco made ^(A)Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father and ^(B)changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz and ^[a](C)brought him to Egypt, and he died there. ³⁵ So Jehoiakim ^(D)gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land in order to give the money at the ^[b]command of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land, each according to his valuation, to give it to Pharaoh Neco.

^36 (E)Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
