Jehoahaz
    Jehovah his sustainer, or he whom Jehovah holdeth. (1.) The
    youngest son of Jehoram, king of Judah (2 Chr. 21:17; 22:1, 6,
    8, 9); usually Ahaziah (q.v.).

      (2.) The son and successor of Jehu, king of Israel (2 Kings
    10:35). He reigned seventeen years, and followed the evil ways
    of the house of Jeroboam. The Syrians, under Hazael and
    Benhadad, prevailed over him, but were at length driven out of
    the land by his son Jehoash (13:1-9, 25).

      (3.) Josiah's third son, usually called Shallum (1 Chr. 3:15).
    He succeeded his father on the throne, and reigned over Judah
    for three months (2 Kings 23:31, 34). He fell into the
    idolatrous ways of his predecessors (23:32), was deposed by
    Pharaoh-Necho from the throne, and carried away prisoner into
    Egypt, where he died in captivity (23:33, 34; Jer. 22:10-12; 2
    Chr. 36:1-4).
