The king being dethroned is Jehoahaz, son of Josiah. This event occurs around 609 BC, during a period of significant geopolitical upheaval. Egypt was a dominant power in the region, and Necho's actions demonstrate the influence and control Egypt sought to exert over Judah. Jerusalem, the capital city, was the center of religious and political life for the Israelites, making this act of dethronement particularly significant. This intervention by Egypt is a fulfillment of the warnings given by prophets about foreign domination due to the people's disobedience to God.<p><b>and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold</b><br>The imposition of a levy signifies the subjugation of Judah under Egyptian control. A talent was a large unit of weight, and the demand for a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold represents a substantial financial burden on the kingdom. This levy was likely intended to weaken Judah economically and ensure its loyalty to Egypt. The use of silver and gold highlights the wealth and resources that were extracted from Judah, which could have been used for temple worship or national defense. This financial tribute is reminiscent of other instances in the Old Testament where foreign powers imposed tributes on Israel, such as the Assyrian and Babylonian empires. Theologically, this can be seen as a consequence of the nation's failure to remain faithful to God's covenant, leading to their subjugation by foreign powers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/king_of_egypt.htm">King of Egypt (Pharaoh Necho II)</a></b><br>Pharaoh Necho II was the ruler of Egypt during this period.
