Zarakes
ZARAKES.Called in 1Es 1:38 brother of Joakim or Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and said to have been brought up out of Egypt by him. The name apparently is a corruption, through confusion of Heb. d and r, of Zedekiah, who was a brother of Jehoiakim (2Ki 24:17). The verse of 1 Es. is entirely different from the corresponding passage in 2Ch 36:4 b.

Zarakes
zara-kez (Codex Alexandrinus and Fritzsche, , Zarakes; Codex Vaticanus and Swete, , Zarios; Vulgate (Jerome’s Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) Zaracelem; the King James Version Zaraces): Occurs in the difficult passage, 1 Esdras 1:38, as the equivalent of Jehoahaz (2Ki 23:34) and Joahaz (2Ch 36:4), the brother of Eliakim (Jehoiakim or JOAKIM (which see)). According to 1 Esdras 1:38, Joakim apparently apprehended his brother, Zarakes, and brought him up out of Egypt, whither he must have been previously taken by Necoh, whereas 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles only state that Necoh took Joahaz (Zarakes) to Egypt.
