Christian Standard Bible

Judah’s King Jehoiakim

³⁴ Then^(A) Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim^(B) son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah and changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim.^(C) But Neco took Jehoahaz and went to Egypt, and he died there.^{(D) 35} So Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh, but at Pharaoh’s command he taxed the land to give it. He exacted the silver and the gold from the common people, each according to his assessment,^(E) to give it to Pharaoh Neco.

³⁶ Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah.
