2 Kings 23:35-37

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³⁵ So Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh, but at Pharaoh’s command he taxed the land to give the money. He exacted the silver and the gold from the common people,^[a] each man according to his assessment,^(A) to give it to Pharaoh Neco.

³⁶ Jehoiakim was 25 years old when he became king and reigned 11 years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah, from Rumah. ³⁷ He did what was evil^(B) in the Lord’s sight just as his ancestors had done.
