Pharaoh Necho refers to Necho II, the second king of Egypt’s 26th Dynasty (reigned c. 609–594 BC). He ascended the throne around 609 BC, three years after the fall of [[Nineveh]], the Assyrian capital. Seeking to assert Egyptian dominance over the Euphrates region before the rising power of [[Babylon]]—under King Nabopolassar and Crown Prince [[Nebuchadnezzar]]—became too strong, Necho launched a series of military campaigns shortly after taking the throne. During these campaigns, he captured the Philistine cities of Gaza and Ashkelon, bringing much of Palestine under Egyptian control.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+47%3A1-5&version=NIV |title=Jeremiah 47:1–5|publisher= |quote= }}</ref> | Pharaoh Necho refers to Necho II, the second king of Egypt’s 26th Dynasty (reigned c. 609–594 BC).
