2 Kings 23:33-35

GOD’S WORD Translation

³³ Pharaoh Necoh made him a prisoner at Riblah in the territory of Hamath during his reign ^[a] in Jerusalem and fined the country 7,500 pounds of silver and 75 pounds of gold.

³⁴ Then Pharaoh Necoh made Josiah’s son Eliakim king in place of his father Josiah and changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. He took Jehoahaz away to Egypt, where he died. ³⁵ Jehoiakim gave Pharaoh the silver and the gold. But he had to tax the country to pay the silver Pharaoh had demanded. He taxed each person according to his wealth so that he could get the silver and gold from the people of the land and give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
