11 For thus saith H559 the LORD H3068 touching H413 Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 which reigned H4427 instead of Josiah H2977 his father, H1 which went forth H3318 out of this place; H4725 He shall not return H7725 thither any more:
And the sons H1121 of Josiah H2977 were, the firstborn H1060 Johanan, H3110 the second H8145 Jehoiakim, H3079 the third H7992 Zedekiah, H6667 the fourth H7243 Shallum. H7967
And Pharaohnechoh H6549 made Eliakim H471 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4427 in the room of Josiah H2977 his father, H1 and turned H5437 his name H8034 to Jehoiakim, H3079 and took H3947 Jehoahaz H3059 away: H3947 and he came H935 to Egypt, H4714 and died H4191 there.
Then the people H5971 of the land H776 took H3947 Jehoahaz H3059 the son H1121 of Josiah, H2977 and made him king H4427 in his father's H1 stead in Jerusalem. H3389 Jehoahaz H3099 was twenty H6242 and three H7969 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 three H7969 months H2320 in Jerusalem. H3389 And the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 put him down H5493 at Jerusalem, H3389 and condemned H6064 the land H776 in an hundred H3967 talents H3603 of silver H3701 and a talent H3603 of gold. H2091 And the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 made Eliakim H471 his brother H251 king H4427 over Judah H3063 and Jerusalem, H3389 and turned H5437 his name H8034 to Jehoiakim. H3079 And Necho H5224 took H3947 Jehoahaz H3099 his brother, H251 and carried H935 him to Egypt. H4714
Jehoahaz H3059 was twenty H6242 and three H7969 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign; H4427 and he reigned H4427 three H7969 months H2320 in Jerusalem. H3389 And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Hamutal, H2537 the daughter H1323 of Jeremiah H3414 of Libnah. H3841
Then certain H582 of the heads H7218 of the children H1121 of Ephraim, H669 Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Johanan, H3076 Berechiah H1296 the son H1121 of Meshillemoth, H4919 and Jehizkiah H3169 the son H1121 of Shallum, H7967 and Amasa H6021 the son H1121 of Hadlai, H2311 stood up H6965 against them that came H935 from the war, H6635
And Hilkiah, H2518 and they that the king H4428 had appointed, went H3212 to Huldah H2468 the prophetess, H5031 the wife H802 of Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Tikvath, H8616 H8445 the son H1121 of Hasrah, H2641 keeper H8104 of the wardrobe; H899 (now she dwelt H3427 in Jerusalem H3389 in the college:) H4932 and they spake H1696 to her to that effect.

Kings, though they are gods to us, are men to God, and shall die like men; so it appears in these verses, where we have a sentence of death passed upon two kings who reigned successively in Jerusalem, two brothers, and both the ungracious sons of a very pious father.
Jer 22:20-30
