2 KINGS 23:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Pharaoh–nechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.”
Pharaoh Neco confined him at Riblah in the land of Hamath, so that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and imposed on the land a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold — Pharaoh Neco deposes Jehoahaz, imposing massive tribute. The removal of Josiah's son indicates Egyptian hegemony over Judea. Jehoahaz's confinement and replacement initiate the period of foreign dominance and tributary vassalage.
