Necho Ii
From BiblePortal Wikipedia
Necho Ii [1]
2 Chronicles 35:20-24 Joshua 11:2 12:23
On his return march he deposed Jehoahaz, who had succeeded his father Josiah, and made Eliakim, Josiah's eldest son, whose name he changed into Jehoiakim, king. Jehoahaz he carried down into Egypt, where he died ( 2 Kings 23:31; 2 Chronicles 36:1-4 ). Four years after this conquest Necho again marched to the Euphrates; but here he was met and his army routed by the Chaldeans (B.C. 606) under Nebuchadnezzar, who drove the Egyptians back, and took from them all the territory they had conquered, from the Euphrates unto the "river of Egypt" ( Jeremiah 46:2; 2 Kings 24:7,8 ). Soon after this Necho died, and was succeeded by his son, Psammetichus Ii. (See Nebuchadnezzar .)
