Weep ye not for the dead— "Weep not for Josiah, for he is buried in peace, and taken away from the evil to come; but rather lament his successor Jehoahaz (who is here called Shallum), whom Pharaoh Necho hath carried captive into Egypt, whence he shall never return." It is not easy to conjecture why he is called Shallum. Some suppose, that this name was given him by way of reproach, because of the shortness of his reign, in which he resembled king Shallum, mentioned 2 Kings 13 as Jeconiah is called Coniah by way of contempt, Jeremiah 22:24.

Jeremiah 22:10-12
10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
11 For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
