Verse 15
And the sons of Josiah were, the firstborn Johanan ,.... Of whom we nowhere else read; he probably died before his father Josiah:
the second Jehoiakim : whose name was Eliakim, changed for the former by the king of Egypt, when, he deposed his younger brother, and set him on the throne, 2 Kings 23:24 .
the third Zedekiah ; whose name was Mattaniah, but changed by the king of Babylon, when he placed him on the throne in the room of his brother's son, 2 Kings 24:17 ,
the fourth Shallum : the same with Jehoahaz, who was first made king in the room of his father; but reigning so short a time, and making so mean a figure, is mentioned last, see Jeremiah 22:11 .
