Where Neco appears in Scripture
אַֽחֲרֵי כָל-זֹאת אֲשֶׁר הֵכִין יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ אֶת-הַבַּיִת עָלָה נְכוֹ מֶֽלֶךְ-מִצְרַיִם לְהִלָּחֵם בְּכַרְכְּמִישׁ עַל-פְּרָת וַיֵּצֵא לִקְרָאתוֹ יֹֽאשִׁיָּֽהוּ׃
After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
וְלֹֽא-הֵסֵב יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ פָנָיו מִמֶּנּוּ כִּי לְהִלָּחֵֽם-בּוֹ הִתְחַפֵּשׂ וְלֹא שָׁמַע אֶל-דִּבְרֵי נְכוֹ מִפִּי אֱלֹהִים וַיָּבֹא לְהִלָּחֵם בְּבִקְעַת מְגִדּֽוֹ׃
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
וַיַּמְלֵךְ מֶֽלֶךְ-מִצְרַיִם אֶת-אֶלְיָקִים אָחִיו עַל-יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִַם וַיַּסֵּב אֶת-שְׁמוֹ יְהֽוֹיָקִים וְאֶת-יֽוֹאָחָז אָחִיו לָקַח נְכוֹ וַיְבִיאֵהוּ מִצְרָֽיְמָה׃
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
