Johanan, who is not mentioned in 4 Kings xxiii., and xxiv. Some think that he died young, (To stat) or in battle with his father, against Pharao. (Pradus.)
Joakim, or Eliacim, possessed the throne after Joachaz, or Sellum, (Calmet) which name signifies "confusion "and was given to all the sons of Josias. (St. Jerome)
Then came Joachin and Sedecias, whose proper name was Matthanias. (Haydock)
Joakim is passes over by St. Matthew. (St. Jerome, ibid.)
