³¹ _b Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

But he took Jehoahaz away, _h and he came to Egypt and died there. ³⁵ And Jehoiakim _i gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land to give the money according to the command of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Neco.
