Basil Wolverton

ACCORDING to Josiah's wish, his grandson, then eight years old, was to succeed him. But he was removed from any opportunity to reign after ten days' time. Neither did Josiah's eldest son, Eliakim, succeed his father because the people of Judah believed he would regard the king of Egypt as their master. Instead, they put Eliakim's younger half-brother Jehoahaz on the throne. Meanwhile, the Egyptians were not victorious over the Babylonian king as they had hoped to be. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
