1 Esdras 1:34-39

1. 34 And the people took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of Josias his father, when he was twenty and three years old.

2. 35 And he reigned in Judea and in Jerusalem three months: and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in Jerusalem.

3. 36 And he set a tax upon the land of an hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.

4. 37 The king of Egypt also made king Joacim his brother king of Judea and Jerusalem.

5. 38 And he bound Joacim and the nobles: but Zaraces his brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt.

6. 39 Five and twenty years old was Joacim when he was made king in the land of Judea and Jerusalem; and he did evil before the Lord.
