| WHO RULED AFTER JOSIAH? JEHOAHAZ OR SHALLUM? |
| II Chronicles 36:1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz
the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
(KJV)
Jeremiah 22:11 For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more: (KJV)
|
| Shallum and Jehoahaz are the same person. Shallum was his birth name, but he took the name Jehoahaz (which means 'seized by God') when he took the throne. Not a contradiction. |
