The name of his mother was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 32He did what was evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers had done. 33Pharaoh Neco bound him at Riblah in the land of Hamath, so that he would not reign in Jerusalem, and he imposed a fine on the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 34Pharaoh Neco made king Eliakim son of Josiah in place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but Jehoahaz he took away, and he came to Egypt and died there. 35The silver and the gold Jehoiakim gave to Pharaoh; but he assessed the land to give the silver according to the order of Pharaoh; from each according to his assessment he exacted the silver and the gold from the people of the land, to give it to Pharaoh Neco.
