2 Kings 23:33
And Pharaoh-nechoh put him 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 Pharaoh-nechoh put him 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.
The verse belongs to the closing history of Judah as the remaining kingdom after the ten tribes had been swept away. It stands in the closing period of the kingdom of Judah after the overthrow of Israel in B.C. 721-722.
Within that close Jehoahaz reigned three months, coming between Josiah's thirty-one years and Jehoiakim's eleven years in the succession Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, Zedekiah. He is counted among the seven kings whose reigns lead toward Judah's fall, and after Josiah's death the kingdom soon fell before Nebuchadnezzar. The confining of Jehoahaz at Riblah so he could not rule in Jerusalem, with tribute imposed on the land, belongs within that succession of kings and its troubled history of turning from God and suffering calamity.
After Josiah's defeat and death, Pharaoh-nechoh established his authority over Judah by keeping Jehoahaz from reigning in Jerusalem. He confined and deposed Jehoahaz at Riblah in the land of Hamath so that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold. He made Riblah in Hamath his headquarters as suzerain over Judah and nearby provinces. The episode marks Judah's subjection to Egypt after Josiah's death.
After the reformation under Josiah, his son returned to the evil ways of his fathers, and as a consequence Jerusalem was brought into bondage and became tributary to Egypt. In losing its independence as a nation its ruler was removed and replaced by appointment of a foreign king. The king of Egypt made Jehoahaz's brother Eliakim king and changed his name to Jehoiakim. This fits Judah's troubled history of turning from God and suffering calamity, with its last kings at times conquered and made tributary to Egypt, as well as to Assyria and Babylon and finally to Babylon.
Josiah's reign ended in 607 B.C., and after that the people could no longer keep release years or jubilees because their kings, people, and land could not be redeemed.
This Egyptian intervention with the deposing of Jehoahaz and the appointing of Eliakim as Jehoiakim came before Nebuchadnezzar's campaign against Jerusalem and forms part of the historical setting for Daniel.
