Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king; he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah — Jehoahaz's three-month reign indicates ephemeral power. His accession at twenty-three years suggests a young adult assuming throne after his father's battlefield death. The brief tenure suggests that regional powers (Egypt or Babylon) quickly removed him from power.
