καὶ κατέστησεν Φαραὼ Νεχαὼ τὸν Ἐλιακεὶμ υἱὸν Ἰωσωίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα ἀντὶ Ἰωσείου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετέστρεψεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωακείμ· καὶ τὸν Ἰωαχὰζ ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἔλαβεν Φαραὼ Νεχαὼ καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ. [1] καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἔδωκεν τῷ Φαραώ· τότε ἤρξατο ἡ γῆ φορολογεῖσθαι, τοῦ δοῦναι τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ στόμα Φαραώ· καὶ ἕκαστος κατὰ δύναμιν ἀπῇτει τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς, δοῦναι τῷ Φαραὼ Νεχαώ.
