Contextual Overview
1Then the common people took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.2Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 3The king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and fined the land seventy-five hundred pounds of silver and seventy-five pounds of gold. 4Then King Neco of Egypt made Jehoahaz’s brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem and changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took his brother Jehoahaz and brought him to Egypt. 5Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God. 6Now King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked him and bound him in bronze shackles to take him to Babylon. 7Also Nebuchadnezzar took some of the articles of the Lord’s temple to Babylon and put them in his temple in Babylon. 8The rest of the deeds of Jehoiakim, the detestable actions he committed, and what was found against him, are written in the Book of Israel’s Kings. His son Jehoiachin became king in his place. 9Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. 10In the spring Nebuchadnezzar sent for him and brought him to Babylon along with the valuable articles of the Lord’s temple. Then he made Jehoiachin’s brother Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ver. 1-13. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah,.... Of whose reign, and of the three following, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah, and the account of them, from hence to the end of 2 Chronicles 36:13, what needs explanation or reconciliation,
2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- :
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.
