[alleluja]

Pharaoh-necho = "great house-he is smitten"

the Pharaoh of Egypt who fought king Josiah of Judah at Megiddo
and killed him.

Jer 46:1-2 The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah
the prophet against the Gentiles; Against Egypt, against the
army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates
in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon
smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah
king of Judah.

2 Kings 23:29 In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went
up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates:
and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at
Megiddo, when he had seen him. 30 And his servants
carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought
him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre.
And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah,
and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.

2 Kings 23:33-34 And Pharaohnechoh put Jehoahaz 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. And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of
Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name
to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt,
and died there.

2 Kings 23:35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to
Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according
to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the
gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his
taxation, to give it unto Pharaohnechoh.
