Jeremiah 22:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Jehoahaz
10 Do not weep for him who is dead,[a]
nor mourn for him!
Weep rather for him who is going away;
never again to see
the land of his birth.(A)
11 Thus says the Lord concerning Shallum,[b] son of Josiah, king of Judah, his father’s successor, who left this place: He shall never return, 12 but in the place where they exiled him, there he shall die; he shall never see this land again.

- 22:10 Him who is dead: Josiah. His successor, Jehoahaz, was deported by Pharaoh Neco to Egypt, where he died (2 Kgs 23:33–34).
- 22:11 Shallum: i.e., Jehoahaz; cf. 1 Chr 3:15. This may have been his name at birth, in which case Jehoahaz would have been his throne name.
