Contextual Overview
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king. He ruled for three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 32 Jehoahaz did what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord. He did all that his fathers had done. 33 Pharaoh Neco put him in prison at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not rule in Jerusalem. And he made the people of the land pay a tax of silver weighing as much as 100 men, and gold weighing as much as one man. 34 Pharaoh Neco made Josiah's son Eliakim king in the place of his father Josiah. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away to Egypt, where he died. 35 So Jehoiakim gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh. But he taxed the land to give Pharaoh the money he wanted. He took the silver and gold from the people of the land, from each one by the amount of tax he was made to pay. And he gave it to Pharaoh Neco. 36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king. He ruled for eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. 37 Jehoiakim did what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord. He did just as his fathers had done.
