After King Josiah, the order of the four kings in the southern kingdom of Judah is as follows: Jehoahaz, who reigned briefly before being deposed by Pharaoh Necho; Jehoiakim, his brother, who was appointed king by Necho; Jehoiachin, Jehoiakim's son, who was taken captive to Babylon; and Zedekiah, who was installed as a puppet king by Nebuchadnezzar. This sequence reflects the tumultuous period leading up to the Babylonian exile.
