2 Kings 23:28-37

The rest of the events of Josiah’s reign,  along with all his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Judah’s Kings. During his reign, Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt  marched up to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went to confront him, and at Megiddo  when Neco saw him he killed him. From Megiddo his servants carried his dead body in a chariot, brought him into Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb.  Then the common people  took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.  Jehoahaz  was  twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal  daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight just as his ancestors had done.  Pharaoh Neco imprisoned him at Riblah  in the land of Hamath  to keep him from reigning in Jerusalem, and he imposed on the land a fine of seventy-five hundred pounds  of silver and seventy-five pounds  of gold. Then  Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim  son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah and changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim.  But Neco took Jehoahaz and went to Egypt, and he died there.  So Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh, but at Pharaoh’s command he taxed the land to give it. He exacted the silver and the gold from the common people, each according to his assessment,  to give it to Pharaoh Neco. Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah. He did what was evil  in the Lord’s sight just as his ancestors had done.
