2 Kings 23:33-35

Expanded Bible

³³ ·King [^LPharaoh] Neco took Jehoahaz prisoner at Riblah in the land of Hamath so that Jehoahaz could not ·rule [reign] in Jerusalem. Neco ·made the people of Judah pay about [imposed a tribute of] ·seventy-five hundred pounds [^Lone hundred talents] of silver and ·about seventy-five pounds [^La talent] of gold.

³⁴ ·King [^LPharaoh] Neco made Josiah’s son Eliakim the king in place of Josiah his father. Then Neco changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim [^CEliakim means “God has established”; Jehoiakim means “Yahweh has established”; changing Eliakim’s name was a way Pharaoh asserted his authority over him]. But Neco took Jehoahaz to Egypt, where he died. ³⁵ Jehoiakim gave ·King Neco [^LPharaoh] the silver and gold he demanded. Jehoiakim taxed the land and took silver and gold from the people of the land to give to ·King [^LPharaoh] Neco. Each person had to pay ·his share [according to his wealth/assessment].
