Jehoiakim Made King by Pharaoh
34 Then Pharaoh Neco made (D)Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father and (E)changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz and [b](F)brought him to Egypt, and he died there. 35 So Jehoiakim (G)gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land in order to give the money at the [c]command of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land, each according to his valuation, to give it to Pharaoh Neco.
