Jehoahaz: 1 Chronicles 3:15, Jeremiah 22:11, Shallum

Hamutal: 2 Kings 24:18

Reciprocal: 2 Chronicles 36:1 - Jehoahaz Ecclesiastes 4:14 - also Ezekiel 19:3 - it became Ezekiel 19:4 - he was Matthew 1:11 - Jechonias

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Jehoahaz was twenty three years old when he began to reign,.... Who seems to be the same with Shallum, Jeremiah 22:11

and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; a short reign, being deposed by the king of Egypt, as after related:

and his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah; a city in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 10:29.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 31. Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old — This was not the eldest son of Josiah, which is evident from this, that he was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; that he reigned but three months; that, being dethroned, his brother Eliakim was put in his place, who was then twenty-five years of age. Eliakim, therefore, was the eldest brother; but Jehoahaz was probably raised to the throne by the people, as being of a more active and martial spirit.
