2 Kings 23:32-34
New International Reader's Version
32 Jehoahaz did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord. He did just as the kings who had ruled before him had done. 33 Pharaoh Necho put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath. That kept him from ruling in Jerusalem. Necho made the people of Judah pay him a tax of almost four tons of silver and 75 pounds of gold. 34 Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim king in place of his father Josiah. Necho changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz with him to Egypt. And that’s where Jehoahaz died.

But he took Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt, and there he died.(E)
