New Defender's Study Bible Notes

23:33 Pharaoh-nechoh put him in bands. Although Pharaoh-nechoh was defeated by the Babylonians, he had in the meantime been victorious over Judah, and put the land to tribute, placing Eliakim (or Jehoiakim) on Judah’s throne. It was only a short while, however, before Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians would take over Judah.
