Settings

22 Nevertheless, Josiah did not turn away from him, but 1disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, but came to fight in the plain of 2Megiddo.
23 And the archers shot King Josiah. And the king said to his servants, 3"Take me away, for I am badly wounded."
24 So his servants took him out of the chariot and carried him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. 4All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 5Jeremiah also uttered a lament for Josiah; and all 6the singing men and singing women have spoken of Josiah in their laments to this day. They made these a rule in Israel; behold, they are written in the Laments.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds according to what is written in the Law of the LORD,
27 and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
