2 Kings 23Wycliffe Bible (WYC) 23 which king sent, and all the eld men of Judah, and of Jerusalem, were gathered to him. (and the king sent for all the elders of Judah, and of Jerusalem, and they were gathered unto him.) 2 And the king went up into the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Judah, and all the men that dwelled in Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people from little unto great; and the king read, while all men heard, all the words of the book of [the] bond of peace of the Lord, the which was found in the house of the Lord. (And the king went up into the Temple of the Lord, and all the men of Judah, and all the men who lived in Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people from the little unto the great; and the king read, while all the men listened, all the words of The Book of the Covenant of the Lord, which had been found in the House of the Lord.) 3 And the king stood on the degrees; and smote a bond of peace before the Lord, that they would go after the Lord, and keep his commandments and witnessings and ceremonies in all their heart and in all their soul, and that they should raise up the words of this bond of peace, that were written in that book; and the people assented to the covenant. (And the king stood on the steps; and struck a covenant before the Lord, that they would follow the Lord, and keep his commandments and testimonies and statutes, with all their heart and with all their soul, and that they would raise up the words of this covenant that were written in that book; and the people agreed to the covenant.) 4 And the king commanded to Hilkiah, the bishop, and to the priests of the second order, and to the porters, that they should cast out of the temple [of the Lord] all the vessels, that were made to Baal, and in the maumet wood, and to all the knighthood of (the) heaven(s); and he burnt those vessels without Jerusalem, in the even valley of Kidron, and he bare the powder of those vessels into Bethel. (And the king commanded to the High Priest Hilkiah, and to the priests of the second order, and to the guards, that they should throw out of the Temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and he burned those vessels outside Jerusalem, in the Kidron Valley, and he brought the powder of those vessels to Bethel.) 5 And he did away [the] false diviners, which the kings of Judah had set to make sacrifice in (the) high things by the cities of Judah, and in the compass of Jerusalem; and he did away them that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to (the) twelve signs, and to all the knighthood of (the) heaven(s). (And he did away the false diviners, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to make sacrifice in the hill shrines in the cities of Judah, and all around Jerusalem; and he did away those who burned incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, yea, to all the host of heaven.) 6 And the king made the wood of maumetry to be borne out of the house of the Lord, without Jerusalem, in(to) the even valley of Kidron, and he burnt it there; and he drove it into powder, and casted it forth upon the sepulchres of the common people. (And the king ordered the sacred pole of that idol, or that false god, Asherah to be taken out of the House of the Lord, and out of Jerusalem, to the Kidron Valley, and he burned it there; and he drove it down into powder, and threw it forth onto the tombs, or the graves, of the common people.) 7 Also he destroyed the little houses of [the] womanish men, the which houses were in the house of the Lord; for the which houses women weaved, or wattled, as little houses of the wood. (And he destroyed the little houses of the male whores of the Temple, which houses were attached to the House of the Lord; and where women weaved, or wattled, vestments used in honouring and worshipping Asherah.) 8 And he gathered all the priests from the cities of Judah, and he defouled the high things, where the priests made sacrifice, from Geba unto Beersheba; and he destroyed the altars of the gates (that were) in the entering of the door of Joshua, (who was the) prince of a city, which door was at the left half of the gate of the city. (And he gathered all the priests from the cities of Judah, and he defiled the hill shrines, where the priests made sacrifice, from Geba unto Beersheba; and he destroyed the altars of the demons that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua, who was the ruler of the city, which gate was on the left side of the city gate.) 9 Nevertheless the priests of [the] high things went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but only they ate therf loaves in the midst of their brethren. (Now the priests of the hill shrines did not go up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they did eat the unleavened bread in the midst of their kinsmen.) 10 Also he defouled Topheth, which is in the even valley of the son of Hinnom, (so) that no man should hallow his son either his daughter by fire to Moloch. (And he defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben-hinnom, so that no man would sacrifice his son or his daughter in the fire to Moloch.) 11 Also he did away [the] horses, that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, in the entering of the temple of the Lord, beside the chamber of Nathanmelech, the gelding, that was in (the) Parvarim, (that is, the suburbs, or the living quarters); forsooth he burnt by fire the chariots of the sun. (And he did away the horses, that the kings of Judah had erected to the sun, at the entrance to the Temple of the Lord, beside the chamber of Nathanmelech, the eunuch, that was in the Parvarim, that is, in the suburbs, or the living quarters; and he burned up the chariots of the sun.) 12 Also the king destroyed the altars, that were on the roofs of the solar of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made; and the king destroyed the altars, which Manasseh had made in the two great places of the temple of the Lord; and he ran from thence, and scattered the ashes of those altars into the strand of Kidron. (And the king destroyed the altars that were on the roof of the solarium of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made; and the king destroyed the altars which Manasseh had made in the two great courtyards of the Temple of the Lord; and he went from there, and scattered the ashes of those altars in the Kidron Valley.) 13 Also the king defouled the high things, that were in Jerusalem at the right half of the hill of offence, that is, the hill of Olivet, which Solomon, king of Israel, had builded to Ashtoreth, the idol of Sidonians, and to Chemosh, the offence of Moab, and to Malcham, the abomination of the sons of Ammon; (And the king defiled the hill shrines that were east of Jerusalem, on the right side of the hill of offence, that is, south of the Mount of Olives, which Solomon, the king of Israel, had built for Ashtoreth, the false god of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh, the offensive god of Moab, and for Milcom, the abominable god of the Ammonites;) 14 and he all-brake [the] images, and cutted down (the) [maumet] woods (and cut down the sacred poles of Asherah), and filled the places of those with the bones of dead men. 15 Furthermore also he destroyed the altar that was in Bethel, and the high solemn thing, which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had made, that made Israel to do sin; and he destroyed that high altar, and burnt it, and all-brake it into powder, and cutted down also the [maumet] wood. (And furthermore he destroyed the altar that was in Bethel, and the hill shrine, which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had made, who had made Israel to do sin; and he destroyed that high altar, and burned it, and broke it all into powder, and also cut down the sacred pole of Asherah.) 16 And Josiah turned, and saw there sepulchres that were in the hill; and he sent, and took the bones from the sepulchres, and burnt those on the altar, and defouled it, after the word of the Lord, that the man of God spake, that before-said these words. (And Josiah turned, and saw the tombs, or the graves, that were there on the hill; and he sent for, and took all the bones from those tombs, or those graves, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, after the word of the Lord, that the man of God spoke, who foretold these things.) 17 And the king said, What is this burial, that I see? [Whose is this tomb that I see?] And the citizens of that city answered to him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, that came from Judah, and before-said these words (and foretold these things), which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel. 18 And the king said, Suffer ye him (Do not ye touch him); no man move his bones. And (so) his bones dwelled untouched with the bones of the prophet, that came from Samaria. 19 Furthermore also Josiah did away all the temples of [the] high things, that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to stir the Lord to ire; and he did to those temples by all things which he had done in Bethel. (And furthermore Josiah did away all the temples of the hill shrines that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had built, and had so stirred the Lord to anger; and he did to those temples all the things which he had done to the temples in Bethel.) 20 And he killed all the priests of [the] high things, that were there upon the altars, and he burnt men’s bones on those altars; and he turned again to Jerusalem; (And he killed all the priests of the hill shrines, who were there at the altars, and he burned the bones of people upon those altars; and then he returned to Jerusalem;) 21 and he commanded to all the people, and said, Make ye pask to the Lord your God, after that, that is written in the book of this bond of peace. (and he commanded to all the people, and said, Keep ye the Passover to the Lord your God, after what is written in this Book of the Covenant.) 22 Certainly such a pask was not made, from the days of judges that deemed Israel, and of all the days of the kings of Israel, and of Judah, (Certainly such a Passover was not kept, from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, or of Judah,) 23 as this pask (that) was made to the Lord in Jerusalem in the eighteenth year of king Josiah. 24 But also Josiah did away men having fiends speaking in their wombs, and false diviners in altars, and he did away the figures of idols, and all [the] uncleannesses, and [the] abominations, that were in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he should do the words of the law, that were written in the book, that Hilkiah, the priest, found in the temple of the Lord. (And Josiah also did away men having fiends speaking in their wombs, and false diviners at altars, and the figures of idols, and all the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that were in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, so that he would do all the words of the Law, that were written in the book that the High Priest Hilkiah had found in the Temple of the Lord.) 25 No king before him was like him, that turned again to the Lord in all his heart, and in all his soul, and in all his strength, after all the law of Moses; neither after him rose (up) any like him. (There was no king like him before him, who had turned again to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, after all the Law of Moses; nor did there rise up any king like him after him.) 26 Nevertheless the Lord was not turned away from the ire of his great vengeance, by which his strong vengeance was wroth against Judah, for the stirrings to ire by which Manasseh had stirred him to ire. 27 Therefore the Lord said, I shall do away also Judah from my face, as I did away Israel; and I shall cast away this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there. (And so the Lord said, I shall also do away Judah from before me, as I did away Israel; and I shall throw away this city of Jerusalem, which I chose, and the House of which I said, My name shall always be there.) 28 Forsooth the residue of the words of Josiah, and all things that he did, whether these be not written in the book of [the] words of [the] days of the kings of Judah? 29 In the days of Josiah, Pharaoh Necho, the king of Egypt, went up against the king of Assyrians, to the flood Euphrates; and Josiah, king of Judah, went into the meeting of Pharaoh, to forbid him to pass through Judah; and Josiah was slain in Megiddo, when he had seen Pharaoh. (In the days of Josiah, Pharaoh Necho, the king of Egypt, went up to the Euphrates River to help the king of Assyria; and Josiah, the king of Judah, went out against Pharaoh, to forbid him to pass through Judah; and Josiah was killed at Megiddo, when he met Pharaoh in battle.) 30 And his servants bare him dead from Megiddo, and brought him into Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre; and the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king for his father (and made him king in place of his father). 31 Jehoahaz was of three and twenty years, when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremy of Libnah. 32 And he did evil before the Lord, by all things which his fathers had done. 33 And Pharaoh Necho bound him in prison in Riblah, that is in the land of Hamath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and Pharaoh set a pain, either a fine, to the land of Judah, in an hundred talents of silver, and in one talent of gold (and Pharaoh put a fine on the land of Judah, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold). 34 And Pharaoh Necho made king Eliakim, the son of Josiah, for Josiah, his father (And Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim, Josiah’s son, to be king in place of his father); and he turned the name of him to Jehoiakim; forsooth Pharaoh took Jehoahaz (away), and led him into Egypt, (and he died there). 35 Soothly Jehoiakim gave silver and gold to Pharaoh, when he had commanded to the land by all years, that it should be brought, by the commandment of Pharaoh; and Jehoiakim raised of each man by his mights, or after his power, both silver and gold, of the people of the land, that he should give to Pharaoh Necho. (And Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh, in all the years that he commanded over the land, that it should be brought in, by Pharaoh’s commandment; and Jehoiakim raised both the silver, and the gold, from the people of the land, yea, out of each man’s own wealth, so that he could pay it to Pharaoh Necho.) 36 Jehoiakim was of five and twenty years, when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. 37 And he did evil before the Lord, by all things which his fathers had done.

2 राजा 23Nepali 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।
