From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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).
