25
The prophet Jeremiah composed a lament for King Josiah. It has become a custom in Israel for the singers, both men and women, to use this song when they mourn for him. The song is found in the collection of laments.
26
Everything that Josiah did - his devotion to the Lord, his obedience to the Law,
27
and his history from beginning to end - is all recorded in [The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah.]
