king of See also:Judah (2 See also:Kings See also:xxiii. 34-See also:xxiv.6). On the defeat of Josiah at Megiddo his younger See also:brother Jehoahaz (or Shallum) was chosen by the Judaeans, but the See also:Egyptian conquerer Necho summoned him to his headquarters at Riblah (See also:south of Hamath on the See also:Orontes) and removed him to See also:Egypt, appointing in his See also:stead Eliakim, whose name (" El[See also:God] raiseth up ") was changed to its better-known synonym, Jehoiakim. For a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time Jehoiakim remained under the See also:protection of Necho and paid heavy See also:tribute; but with the rise of the new Chaldean See also:Empire under See also:Nebuchadrezzar II., and the overthrow of Egypt at the See also:battle of Carchemish (6o5 B.c.) a vital See also:change occurred. After three years of See also:allegiance the king revolted. Invasions followed-by Chaldeans, Syrians, 1VIoabites and See also:Ammonites, per-

(See ZEDEK:AH.)haps the advance troops despatched by the Babylonian king; the See also:power of Egypt was broken and the whole See also:land came into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar. It was at the See also:close of Jehoiakim's reign, apparently just before his See also:death, that the enemy appeared at the See also:gates of See also:Jerusalem, and although he himself " slept with his fathers " his See also:young son was destined to see the first captivity
of the land of Judah (597 B.C.). (See See also:JEHOIACHIN.) _
Which " three years " (2 Kings xxiv. 1) are intended is disputed; it is uncertain whether Judah suffered in 6o5 B.C. (See also:Berossus in Jos. c. Ap. i. 19) or was See also:left unharmed (Jos. See also:- ANT
- ANT (O. Eng. aemete, from Teutonic a, privative, and maitan, cut or bite off, i.e. " the biter off "; aemete in Middle English became differentiated in dialect use to (mete, then amte, and so ant, and also to emete, whence the synonym " emmet," now only u
Ant. x. 6. I); perhaps Nebuchadrezzar made his first inroad against Judah in 602 u.c. because of its intrigue with Egypt (H. Winkler, Keilinschrift. u. d. alte Test., pp. 107 seq.), and the three years of allegiance extends to 599. The chronicler's tradition (2 Chron. See also:xxxvi. 5-8) speaks of Jehoiakim's captivity, apparently confusing him with Jehoiachin. The See also:Septuagint, however, still preserves there the See also:record of his peaceful death, in agreement with the earlier source in 2 Kings, but against the prophecy of See also:Jeremiah (xxii. 18 seq., xxxvi. 30), which is accepted by Jos. Ant. x. 6. 3. The different traditions can scarcely be reconciled. Nothing certain is known of the marauding bands sent against ehoiakim; for Syrians (See also:Aram) one would expect Edomites (See also:Edom), but see Jer. See also:xxxv. I I ; some recensions of the Septuagint even include the " See also:Samaritans "! (For further references to this reign see especially JEREMIAH; see also See also:JEws: See also:History, § 17.) (S.
