34 Furthermore, Pharʹaoh Neʹchoh made E·liʹa·kim+ the son of Jo·siʹah king in place of Jo·siʹah his father and changed his name to Je·hoiʹa·kim; and Je·hoʹa·haz he took and then brought to Egypt, where he eventually died.+
5 Twenty-five years old was Je·hoiʹa·kim+ when he began to reign, and for eleven years he reigned in Jerusalem;+ and he continued to do what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah his God.+
1In the third year of the kingship of Je·hoiʹa·kim+ the king of Judah, Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar the king of Babylon* came to Jerusalem and proceeded to lay siege to it.+
