Contextual Overview

31 Y'ho'achaz was twenty-three years old when he began his reign, and he ruled for three months in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Yirmeyahu from Livnah. 32 He did what was evil from Adonai 's perspective, following the example of everything his ancestors had done. 33 Pharaoh N'khoh imprisoned him at Rivlah in the land of Hamat, so that he would not be able to rule in Yerushalayim. He also imposed a penalty on the land of three-and-a-quarter tons of silver and sixty-six pounds of gold. 34 Then Pharaoh N'khoh made Elyakim the son of Yoshiyahu king in place of Yoshiyahu his father and changed his name to Y'hoyakim. He also carried Y'ho'achaz off to Egypt, where he died. 35 Y'hoyakim remitted the silver and gold to Pharaoh; but in order to pay the money Pharaoh demanded, he had to levy a tax on the land. He taxed the people of the land, each according to his means, to pay the silver and gold to Pharaoh N'khoh. 36 Y'hoyakim was twenty-five years old when he began his reign, and he ruled for eleven years in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was Z'vudah the daughter of P'dayah, from Rumah. 37 He did what was evil from the perspective of Adonai , following the example of everything his ancestors had done.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Jehoahaz: 1 Chronicles 3:15, Jeremiah 22:11, Shallum

Hamutal: 2 Kings 24:18

Reciprocal: 2 Chronicles 36:1 - Jehoahaz Ecclesiastes 4:14 - also Ezekiel 19:3 - it became Ezekiel 19:4 - he was Matthew 1:11 - Jechonias

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Jehoahaz was twenty three years old when he began to reign,.... Who seems to be the same with Shallum, Jeremiah 22:11

and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; a short reign, being deposed by the king of Egypt, as after related:

and his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah; a city in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 10:29.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 31. Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old — This was not the eldest son of Josiah, which is evident from this, that he was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; that he reigned but three months; that, being dethroned, his brother Eliakim was put in his place, who was then twenty-five years of age. Eliakim, therefore, was the eldest brother; but Jehoahaz was probably raised to the throne by the people, as being of a more active and martial spirit.
