English Standard Version

Jehoahaz's Reign and Captivity

^31 (A)Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was ^(B)Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. ³² And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, ^(C)according to all that his fathers had done. ³³ And ^(D)Pharaoh Neco put him in bonds at ^(E)Riblah in the land of ^(F)Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and laid on the land a tribute of a hundred talents^[a] of silver and a talent of gold. ³⁴ And ^(G)Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and ^(H)changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away, ^(I)and he came to Egypt and died there.
