Necho II was a pharaoh of the 26th dynasty of Egypt and he was used by God to play a crucial role in the crossroads of three kingdoms from the Middle East and Mesopotamian regions.

The kingdoms of Assyria, Babylon and Judah were all influenced by the decisions of Neco II. He appears on the Old Testament Timeline during the sixth century BC Necho II name is described as meaning “carrying out the wishes of the heart” or “carrying out the heart”. He was the son of Psammetichus I. He became pharaoh by marrying Psammetichus I daughter Mehtenweskhet.

He also tried to create a canal that extended from the Nile to the Red Sea. His efforts would later be used to lay the ground work for the Suez Canal which would be built thousands of years later.
