Rashi
ויסב את שמו יהויקים. כך דרך המלכים והשרים שמכנים למשרתיהם שם שהם רוצים דוגמא (בראשית מ״א:מ״ה) ויקרא פרעה שם יוסף וגומר וכן (במדבר) ויקרא משה להושע בן נון יהושע וכן (דניאל א׳:ז׳) וישם שר הסריסים שמות וגו' והכל כדי להודיע שהוא מושל בו לכנות לו שם כרצונו:
and he changed his name to Jehoiakim It is the custom of kings and princes to bestow a by-name upon their servants as they wish. An example is (Gen. 41:45): “And Pharaoh named Joseph, etc.,” and so (Num. 13:16): “and Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua,” and so, (Dan. 1:7): “Now the chief officer gave them names, etc.” All this is to make known that he rules over him to name him as he desires.
ויסב את שמו יהויקים. למה קרא שמו יהויקים למעלה מפורש כי לאחר שהרג פרעה יאשיהו המליך מלך והעניש' למס עובד:
and he changed his name to Jehoiakim Why did he change his name to Jehoiakim? It is explained above that after Pharaoh slew Josiah, he appointed a king and fined them by imposing a tribute of enslavement upon them.
וימליכהו תחת אביו. אע"פ שהיה יהויקים אתיו גדול ממנו כ"א חדשים:
and made him king instead of his father although Jehoiakim his brother was twenty-one months his senior.
