Contextual Overview
1 Then the people of the land took Y'ho'achaz the son of Yoshiyahu and made him king in his father's place, in Yerushalayim. 2 Y'ho'achaz was twenty-three years old when he began his reign, and he ruled for three months in Yerushalayim. 3 But the king of Egypt deposed him in Yerushalayim and imposed a penalty on the land of three-and-a-third tons of silver and sixty-six pounds of gold. 4 Then the king of Egypt made Elyakim his brother king over Y'hudah and Yerushalayim, changing his name to Y'hoyakim; N'kho took Yo'achaz his brother and carried him off to Egypt. 5 Y'hoyakim was twenty-five years old when he began his reign, and he ruled for eleven years in Yerushalayim. He did what was evil from the perspective of Adonai his God. 6 N'vukhadnetzar king of Bavel attacked him and bound him in chains to carry him off to Bavel. 7 N'vukhadnetzar also carried the articles in the house of Adonai away to Bavel and put them in his temple in Bavel. 8 Other activities of Y'hoyakim, including all the abominations he did publicly and those discovered later, are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Isra'el and Y'hudah. Then Y'hoyakhin his son took his place as king. 9 Y'hoyakhin was eight years old when he began his reign, and he ruled in Yerushalayim for three months and ten days. He did what was evil from Adonai 's perspective. 10 In the spring, King N'vukhadnetzar sent and had him brought to Bavel together with the valuable articles from the house of Adonai , and made Tzedekyah his brother king over Y'hudah and Yerushalayim.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The narrative runs parallel with 2 Kings (marginal reference) as far as 2 Chronicles 36:13. The writer then emits the events following, and substitutes a sketch in which the moral and didactic element preponderates over the historical.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXXVI
Jehoahaz made king on the death of his father Josiah, and
reigns only three months, 1, 2.
He is dethroned by the king of Egypt, and Jehoiakim his brother
made king in his stead, who reigns wickedly eleven years, and
is dethroned and led captive to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar, 3-8.
Jehoiachin is made king in his stead, and reigns wickedly three
months and ten days, and is also led captive to Babylon, 9, 10.
Zedekiah begins to reign, and reigns wickedly eleven years,
11, 12.
He rebels against Nebuchadnezzar, and he and his people cast all
the fear of God behind their backs; the wrath of God comes upon
them to the uttermost; their temple us destroyed; and the whole
nation is subjugated, and led into captivity, 13-21.
Cyrus, king of Persia, makes a proclamation to rebuild the
temple of the Lord, 22, 23.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXXVI
Verse 2 Chronicles 36:1. Took Jehoahaz — It seems that after Necho had discomfited Josiah, he proceeded immediately against Charchemish, and in the interim, Josiah dying of his wounds, the people made his son king.
