27 And the Lord said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josi´ah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 In his days Pha´raoh–ne´choh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphra´tes: and king Josi´ah went against him; and he slew him at Megid´do, when he had seen him.
30 And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megid´do, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jeho´ahaz the son of Josi´ah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.
31 Jeho´ahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamu´tal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 And Pha´raoh–ne´choh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
