22 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and followed completely the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left. 3 In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the secretary, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the temple of the Lord. He said: 4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him get ready the money that has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people. 5 Have them entrust it to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. And have these men pay the workers who repair the temple of the Lord— 6 the carpenters, the builders and the masons. Also have them purchase timber and dressed stone to repair the temple. 7 But they need not account for the money entrusted to them, because they are honest in their dealings.” 8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law in the temple of the Lord.” He gave it to Shaphan, who read it. 9 Then Shaphan the secretary went to the king and reported to him: “Your officials have paid out the money that was in the temple of the Lord and have entrusted it to the workers and supervisors at the temple.” 10 Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king. 11 When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes. 12 He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Akbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king’s attendant: 13 “Go and inquire of the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the Lord’s anger that burns against us because those who have gone before us have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us.” 14 Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan and Asaiah went to speak to the prophet Huldah, who was the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the New Quarter. 15 She said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me, 16 ‘This is what the Lord says: I am going to bring disaster on this place and its people, according to everything written in the book the king of Judah has read. 17 Because they have forsaken me and burned incense to other gods and aroused my anger by all the idols their hands have made,[a] my anger will burn against this place and will not be quenched.’ 18 Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says concerning the words you heard: 19 Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people—that they would become a curse[b] and be laid waste—and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I also have heard you, declares the Lord. 20 Therefore I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place.’” So they took her answer back to the king. 23 Then the king called together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 2 He went up to the temple of the Lord with the people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the prophets—all the people from the least to the greatest. He read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the Lord. 3 The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the Lord—to follow the Lord and keep his commands, statutes and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant. 4 The king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the priests next in rank and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the Lord all the articles made for Baal and Asherah and all the starry hosts. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron Valley and took the ashes to Bethel. 5 He did away with the idolatrous priests appointed by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the towns of Judah and on those around Jerusalem—those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations and to all the starry hosts. 6 He took the Asherah pole from the temple of the Lord to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem and burned it there. He ground it to powder and scattered the dust over the graves of the common people. 7 He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the temple of the Lord, the quarters where women did weaving for Asherah. 8 Josiah brought all the priests from the towns of Judah and desecrated the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had burned incense. He broke down the gateway at the entrance of the Gate of Joshua, the city governor, which was on the left of the city gate. 9 Although the priests of the high places did not serve at the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread with their fellow priests. 10 He desecrated Topheth, which was in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, so no one could use it to sacrifice their son or daughter in the fire to Molek. 11 He removed from the entrance to the temple of the Lord the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun. They were in the court[c] near the room of an official named Nathan-Melek. Josiah then burned the chariots dedicated to the sun. 12 He pulled down the altars the kings of Judah had erected on the roof near the upper room of Ahaz, and the altars Manasseh had built in the two courts of the temple of the Lord. He removed them from there, smashed them to pieces and threw the rubble into the Kidron Valley. 13 The king also desecrated the high places that were east of Jerusalem on the south of the Hill of Corruption—the ones Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the vile god of Moab, and for Molek the detestable god of the people of Ammon. 14 Josiah smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles and covered the sites with human bones. 15 Even the altar at Bethel, the high place made by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin—even that altar and high place he demolished. He burned the high place and ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole also. 16 Then Josiah looked around, and when he saw the tombs that were there on the hillside, he had the bones removed from them and burned on the altar to defile it, in accordance with the word of the Lord proclaimed by the man of God who foretold these things. 17 The king asked, “What is that tombstone I see?” The people of the city said, “It marks the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and pronounced against the altar of Bethel the very things you have done to it.” 18 “Leave it alone,” he said. “Don’t let anyone disturb his bones.” So they spared his bones and those of the prophet who had come from Samaria. 19 Just as he had done at Bethel, Josiah removed all the shrines at the high places that the kings of Israel had built in the towns of Samaria and that had aroused the Lord’s anger. 20 Josiah slaughtered all the priests of those high places on the altars and burned human bones on them. Then he went back to Jerusalem. 21 The king gave this order to all the people: “Celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.” 22 Neither in the days of the judges who led Israel nor in the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah had any such Passover been observed. 23 But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was celebrated to the Lord in Jerusalem. 24 Furthermore, Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists, the household gods, the idols and all the other detestable things seen in Judah and Jerusalem. This he did to fulfill the requirements of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the temple of the Lord. 25 Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the Lord as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses. 26 Nevertheless, the Lord did not turn away from the heat of his fierce anger, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to arouse his anger. 27 So the Lord said, “I will remove Judah also from my presence as I removed Israel, and I will reject Jerusalem, the city I chose, and this temple, about which I said, ‘My Name shall be there.’[d]” 28 As for the other events of Josiah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 29 While Josiah was king, Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt went up to the Euphrates River to help the king of Assyria. King Josiah marched out to meet him in battle, but Necho faced him and killed him at Megiddo. 30 Josiah’s servants brought his body in a chariot from Megiddo to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father. 31 Jehoahaz 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. 32 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his predecessors had done. 33 Pharaoh Necho put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath so that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and he imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents[e] of silver and a talent[f] of gold. 34 Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah and changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt, and there he died. 35 Jehoiakim paid Pharaoh Necho the silver and gold he demanded. In order to do so, he taxed the land and exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land according to their assessments. 36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah. 37 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his predecessors had done. 31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” 33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?” 34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.” 39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers. 42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.” 43 After the two days he left for Galilee. 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, for they also had been there. 46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death. 48 “Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.” 49 The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” 50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.” The man took Jesus at his word and departed. 51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. 52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.” 53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household believed. 54 This was the second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.

2 राजा 23 Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) मानिसहरू विधि-विधान सुन्दछन् 23 राजा योशियाहले यहूदा यरूशलेमका सबै अगुवाहरूलाई आउनु अनि उनीहरूसँग भेट गर्नु भनी बताए। 2 तब राजा माथि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए। यहूदाका सबै मानिसहरू तथा यरूशलेममा बस्ने मानिसहरू उनीसँगै गए। पूजाहारीहरू, अगमवक्ताहरू अनि सबै मानिसहरू तल्लो तहदेखि माथिल्लो तहसम्मका उनीसँग गए। तब उनले करारको पुस्तक पढे। यो व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक थियो जो मन्दिरमा पाइएको थियो। योशियाहले पुस्तक पढे जसले गर्दा अरू सबै मानिसहरूले सुन्न सकून्। 3 राजा खाँबोको छेउमा उभिएर अनि परमप्रभुसित करार गरे। उनले परमप्रभुलाई अनुशरण गर्ने अनि उहाँका आदेशहरू, नियमहरू तथा उहाँका विधिहरू पालनगर्ने वचन दिए। उनले यो सब आत्मा र हृदयका साथ गर्ने वचन दिए। उनले यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका वचन पालन गर्ने वचन दिए। सबै मानिसहरू राजाले गरेको करारलाई समर्थन गरेको देखाउन उभिए। 4 तब राजाले प्रधान पूजाहारी हिल्कियाह, अरू पूजाहारीहरू तथा द्वारपालकहरूलाई बाल देवता, अशेरा देवी तथा आकाशका ताराहरूको सम्मानका लागि बनाइएका थाल र चीजहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट बाहिर निकाल्ने आदेश दिए। त्यसपछि योशियाहले ती कुराहरूलाई यरूशलेमबाहिर किद्रोन खोल्साको खेतमा जलाए। तब तिनीहरूले खरानी बेतेलमा लगे। 5 यहूदाका राजाहरूले साधारण मानिसहरूलाई पूजाहारीको रूपमा सेवा गर्नका लागि नियुक्ति गरे। यी मानिसहरू हारूनका सन्तानहरू थिएन। झूटा पुरोहितहरूले यहूदाका प्रत्येक शहरहरू अनि यरूशलेमका वरिपरिका सबै शहरहरूका अग्ला ठाउँहरूमा धूपबत्ती बाले। तिनीहरू बाल देवता, सूर्य, चन्द्र, नक्षत्रको पूजा र आकाशका तारा-मण्डलहरूलाई धूपबत्ती बाल्ने गर्दथे। तर योशियाहले ती झूटा पूजाहारीहरूलाई रोके। 6 योशियाहले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट अश्तारोत देवीको खाँबो हटाए। उनले अश्तारोत खाँबोलाई किद्रोन उपत्यकामा शहर बाहिर लगे अनि त्यसलाई त्यहाँ जलाए। तब उनले डढेको भागलाई धूलो बनाए अनि साधारण मानिसहरूको चिहानमाथि छर्किदिए। 7 तब राजा योशियाहले पुरूषगामीहरूको घर भत्काए जो परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा थियो। आइमाईहरू पनि ती घरहरू प्रयोग गर्दथे अनि असत्य देवी अश्तारोतको सम्मान गर्नका लागि पालको छानो बनाउँने गर्दथे। 8-9 योशियाहले यहूदाका शहरहरूबाट सबै पूजाहारीहरूलाई निकाले। उसले ती पूजाहारीहरूले धूप जलाउने उच्च ठाउँहरू गेबादेखि बेर्शेवा सम्मलाई अपवित्र तुल्याइदिए। योशियाहले यहोशूको देब्रेपट्टिको द्वार भएको उच्च ठाउँ भत्काइदिए। (यहोशू त्यस शहरको शासक थिए।) तर पूजारी जो उच्च ठाउँहरूमा बलि चढाउने गर्दथे तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा परमप्रभुको वेदीमा आएनन्। त्यसको सट्टामा तिनीहरूले सधारण मानिसहरूसँग अखमीरे रोटी खाए। 10 तोपेत हिन्नोमको छोराको उपत्यकामा एउटा ठाउँ थियो जहाँ मानिसहरू आफ्ना नानीहरू मार्ने गर्दथे अनि असत्य देवता मोलेकको सम्मानमा तिनीहरूलाई बलि चडाउँने गर्दथे। योशियाहले त्यो ठाउँ भत्काए जसले गर्दा मानिसहरूले त्यो ठाउँ फेरी प्रयोग गर्न नसकुन्। 11 बितेको समयमा यहूदाका राजाहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको द्वारमा केही घोडा अनि रथहरू राखेका थिए। यो नातान मेलेक नाउँ भएका एक जना महत्वपूर्ण अधिकारीको कोठाको छेऊमा थियो। घोडा अनि रथहरू सूर्य देवताको सम्मानका लागि थिए योशियाहले घोडाहरू हटाए अनि रथहरू जलाए। 12 बितेको समयमा यहूदाका राजाहरूले आहाजको महलको छाना माथि वेदीहरू बनाएका थिए। राजा मनश्शेले पनि परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको दुइवटा आँगनहरूमा वेदीहरू बनाएका थिए। योशियाहले ती सबै वेदीहरू भत्काए र भाँचिएका टुक्राहरू किद्रोन बेंसीमा फ्याँकिदिए। 13 बितेको समयमा राजा सुलेमानले यरूशलेम नजिक विध्वंसक पहाडमाथि केही अग्ला ठाउँहरू बनाएका थिए। अग्ला ठाउँहरू त्यस पहाडको दक्षिणतिर थिए। राजा सुलेमानले सीदोनका मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने डरलाग्दो चीज अश्तोरोतको सम्मानमा ती पूजा स्थलहरू मध्ये एउटा बनाए। राजा सुलेमानले मोआबका मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने डरलाग्दो चीज कमोशको सम्मानमा पनि एउटा वेदी बनाए। र राजा सुलेमानले अम्मोनीहरू मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने डरलाग्दो चीज मिल्कोमको सम्मानमा पनि एउटा अग्लो ठाउँ बनाए। तर राजा योशियाहले ती सबै पूजाका स्थलहरू अपवित्र बनाइदिए। 14 राजा योशियाहले सबै स्मृति-स्तम्भहरू अनि अश्तारोत खाँबोहरू भाँचे। तब उनले मारेका मानिसहरूका हाडहरू त्यस ठाउँमा छरे। 15 योशियाहले बेतेलमा अग्लो ठाउँ र वेदी पनि भत्काए। नबातका छोरा यारोबामले यो वेदी बनाएका थिए। यारोबामले इस्राएललाई पाप गर्न लगाएका थिए। योशियाहले अग्लो ठाउँ भत्काएर जलाईदिए। योशियाहले ढुङ्गाहरूका वेदी टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारे। त्यसपछि उनले त्यसलाई धूलो पिठो पारे। र उनले अशेरा खाँबोलाई जलाए। 16 योशियाहले चारैतिर हेरे र उसले पहाडमा चिहानहरू देखे। उनले मानिसहरू पठाए र तिनीहरूले चिहानहरूबाट हाड निकाले। तब उनले वेदीमाथि हाड जलाए। यसरी योशियाहले वेदीलाई अपवित्र तुल्याए। यो घटना परमेश्वरका जनले भनेको जस्तै भयो। परमेश्वरका जनले यो कुराहरू घोषणा गरे जब यारोबाम वेदीको छेउमा उभिएका थिए। त्यसपछि योशियाहले चारैतिर हेरे र उसले परमप्रभुको मानिसको चिहान देखे। 17 योशियाहले भने, “मैले देखेको त्यो स्मारक के हो?” त्यस शहरका मानिसहरूले उनलाई भने, “यो परमेश्वरका जनको चिहान हो जो यहूदाबाट आएका थिए। यी परमेश्वरका मानिसहरूले यी कुराहरूको विषयमा अगमवाणी गरेका थिए जो तिमीले बेतेलको वेदीमा गरेका छौ।” 18 योशियाहले भने, “परमेश्वरको जनलाई एक्लै छोडिदेऊ। उनका हड्डीहरू ननिकाल।” यसर्थ तिनीहरूले उनका हड्डीहरू र सामरियाबाट आएका अगमवक्ताहरूका हड्डीहरूलाई छोडिदिए। 19 योशियाहले सामरीयाका शहरहरूमा भएका अग्ला ठाउँहरूका मन्दिरहरू पनि सबै भत्काए। इस्राएलका राजाहरूले ती मन्दिरहरू बनाएका थिए र त्यसले परमप्रभुलाई रीस उठायो। योशियाहले बेतेलमा पूजा स्थलहरू भत्काए जस्तै ती मन्दिरहरू भत्काएका थिए। 20 योशियाहले अग्ला ठाउँहरूका सबै पूजाहारीहरूलाई मारे जो सामरीयामा थिए। उनले ती वेदीहरूमा भएका पूजाहारीहरूलाई मारे। यस प्रकार पूजाका ती स्थलहरू शेष पारे। त्यसपछि उनी यरूशलेम फर्किए। यहूदाका मानिसहरू निस्तार पर्व मनाउँछन् 21 तब राजा योशियाहले सबै मानिसहरूलाई आदेश दिए। उनले भने, “तिमीहरूको परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरका लागि निस्तार पर्व मनाऊ। करारको पुस्तकमा लेखिए जस्तै गर।” 22 मानिसहरूले निस्तार चाड यसरी मनाएका थिएनन् जुन दिनदेखि न्यायकर्ताहरूले इस्राएलमा शासन गर्न थाले। इस्राएलका कुनै राजा अथवा यहूदाका कुनै पनि राजाले निस्तार चाड यसरी भब्य रूपमा मनाएका थिएनन्। 23 तिनीहरू योशियाह राजा हुँदा अठाह्रौं बर्षमा यो निस्तार चाड परमेश्वरका लागि मनाए। 24 योशियाहले धामी झाँक्री, जादूगर, गृह देवता, देवमूर्तिहरू अनि यहूदा तथा यरूशलेममा मानिसहरूले पूजा गर्ने सबै डरलाग्दा चीजहरू नाश पारे। योशियाहले यस्तो काम हिल्कियाह पूजाहारीले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा पाइऐको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको विधि पालन गर्नका लागि गरे। 25 योशियाह जस्ता राजा पहिले कहिले थिएनन् योशियाह आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण हृदय, आफ्नो सबै आत्मा तथा आफ्नो सबैशक्तिका साथ परमप्रभु तिर फर्के। कुनै राजाले मोशाको व्यवस्थाहरू योशियाह जस्तै अनुशरण गरेनन्। अनि त्यस समय देखि योशियाह जस्ता कुनै राजा भएनन्। 26 तर परमप्रभु यहूदाका मानिसहरूसँग रिसाउन छोड्नु भएन। मनश्शेले गरेको सबै कामहरूका लागि परमप्रभु अझै तिनीहरूसँग रिसाउनुभएको थियो। 27 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई ठाउँ छोड्न बाध्य (जोड) गराएँ। म यहूदासँग पनि त्यस्तै गर्नेछु। म यहूदालाई मेरो दृष्टिबाट निकालि दिनेछु म यरूशलेमलाई त्याग्नेछु। हो, मैले त्यस शहरलाई रोजें। म यरूशलेममा मन्दिरको बारेमा कुरा गर्दै थिएँ जब मैले भनें, ‘मेरो नाउँ त्यहाँ हुनेछ।’ तर यस मन्दिरलाई म त्यागिदिनेछु।” 28 सबै अरू कामहरू जो योशियाहले गरे, यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन्। योशियाहको मृत्यु 29 योशियाहको शासनकालमा मिश्रका राजा फिरऊन-नेकोले अश्शूरका राजाको विरूद्धमा युद्ध गर्न यूफ्रेटिस नदीमा गए। योशियाह नेकोसँग भेट गर्न मगिद्दोया गए। फिरऊनले योशियाहलाई देखे र उनलाई मारे। 30 योशियाहका अधिकारीहरूले उनको शरीर रथमा राखे अनि उनलाई मगिद्दोबाट यरूशलेम ल्याए। तिनीहरूले योशियाहलाई उनको आफ्नो चिहानमा गाडे। तब साधारण मानिसहरूले योशियाहका छोरा यहोआहाजलाई लगे अनि राज्यभिषेक गरे। तिनीहरूले यहोआहाजलाई नयाँ राजा बनाए। यहोआहाज यहूदाका राजा हुन्छन् 31 यहोआहाज तेईस बर्षका थिए जब उनी राजा भए। उनले यरूशलेममा तीन महीना शासन गरे। उनको आमाको नाउँ हमूतल थियो, उनी लिब्नाका यिर्मयाहकी छोरी थिइन्। 32 यहोआहाजले ती कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले गलत भन्नुभएको थियो। यहोआहाजले ती नै कामहरू गरे जो उनका पुर्खाहरूले गरेका थिए। 33 फिरऊन-नेकोले यहोआहाजलाई हमात देशको रिब्लामा बन्दी बनाए। त्यस कारण यहोआहाजले यरूशलेममा शासन गर्न पाएनन्। फिरऊन नेकोले यहूदालाई 100 तोडा चाँदी अनि 10 तोडा सुन दिनु वाध्य गरए। 34 फिरऊन-नेकोले योशियाहाका छोरा एल्याकीमलाई नयाँ राजा बनाए। एल्याकीमले आफ्ना पिता योशियाहको पद ग्रहण गरे। फिरऊन-नेकोले एल्याकीमको नाउँ बद्ली गरेर यहोयाकीम बनाए। अनि फिरऊन-नेकोले यहोआहाजलाई मिश्रबाट टाढा लगे। यहोआहाज मिश्रमा मरे। 35 यहोयाकीमले फिरऊनलाई चाँदी र सुन दिए। तर यहोयाकीमले साधारण मानिसहरूलाई कर तिर्न लगाए अनि त्यो धनको उपयोग फिरऊन-नेकोलाई दिएर गरे। यस कारण प्रत्येक मानिसले आफ्नो भागको चाँदी र सुन तिर्यो। अनि राजा यहोयाकीमले रूपियाँ फिरऊन-नेकोलाई दिए। 36 यहोयाकीम 25 बर्षका थिए जब उनी राजा भए। उनले यरूशलेममा 11 बर्ष शासन गरे। उनको आमाको नाउँ जबीदा थियो, तिनी रूमाका पदायाहकी छोरी थिइन्। 37 यहोयाकिमले ती कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले भूल भन्नुभएको थियो। यहोयाकीमले त्यही काम गरे जो उनका पुर्खाहरूले गरेका थिए।
