Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshul´lemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
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.
And Pha´raoh–ne´choh made Eli´akim the son of Josi´ah king in the room of Josi´ah his father, and turned his name to Jehoi´akim, and took Jeho´ahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.
Jehoi´akim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God.
For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum the son of Josi´ah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josi´ah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoi´akim the son of Josi´ah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
