He assumed the crown under the name of Jehoahaz (q.v.). He did not imitate the example of his father (2Ki 23:32), but was "a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men" (Eze 19:3). His policy was anti-Egyptian therefore. Necho, at that time at Riblah, sent an army against Jerusalem, which at once yielded, and Jehoahaz was carried captive to the Egyptian camp, Eliakim being appointed king in his stead. He remained a captive in Egypt till his death, and was the first king of Judah that died in exile.
