And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, etc.] Not in the room of Jehoahaz; for he did not allow him to be a king, and to have any lawful right to the throne; but, deposing him, set up his elder brother: and turned his name to Jehoiakim; to show his subjection to him, and that he held his government by him: and took Jehoahaz away: with him, from Jerusalem, when he departed thence: and he came to Egypt, and died there: and never returned to Jerusalem, according to the prophecy of Jeremiah, (<242211>Jeremiah 22:11).
