Jehoahaz (son of Josiah)
여호아하스 (요시야의 아들)
Named at 2 Kings 23:30, where, after Josiah is killed at Megiddo, “The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.” 23:31–32 says, “Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.” At 23:33 Pharaoh Necoh puts him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; at 23:34 Pharaoh Necoh takes Jehoahaz away, “and he came to Egypt and died there.”

2 Kings 23:30 names Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and 23:34 Eliakim the son of Josiah, whose name was changed to Jehoiakim. 1 Chronicles 3:15 names the sons of Josiah: the firstborn Johanan, the second Jehoiakim, the third Zedekiah, and the fourth Shallum, and does not name Jehoahaz. Jeremiah 22:11 gives the LORD’s word touching “Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place”. This collection records the Jehoiakim and the Zedekiah of 3:15 in their entries, and Johanan and Shallum in a list of names as sons of Josiah, linked to no entry. It records the Shallum of Jeremiah 22:11 in the entry of Jehoahaz (son of Josiah), because that verse gives him the father 2 Kings 23:30 gives Jehoahaz and tells again of one who reigned instead of Josiah his father; it keeps the Shallum of 1 Chronicles 3:15 in the list of names. The text does not say whether Jehoahaz is among the sons of 3:15, or which of them he would be, and this collection does not decide it. Nor does the text say whether the Shallum of Jeremiah 22:11 and the Shallum of 1 Chronicles 3:15 are one man, and this collection does not decide that either.
