Pharaoh Neco removes Jehoahaz from Judah's throne
Jehoahaz reigned only three months before Pharaoh Neco imprisoned him and imposed tribute on Judah. Neco installed his brother Eliakim as king, renamed him Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz to Egypt (2 Kings 23:31-35).

📖 2 Kings 23:31–33
31Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. 32And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done. 33And Pharaoh Neco imprisoned Jehoahaz at Riblah in the land of Hamath so that he could not reign in Jerusalem, and he imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
