After
all this, when
Josiah
had
prepared
the
temple
,
Necho
king
of
Egypt
came
up
to
fight
against
Carchemish
by
Euphrates
: and
Josiah
went
out
against
him.

@ But he
sent
ambassadors
to him,
saying
, What have I to do with thee, thou
king
of
Judah
? I come not against thee this
day
, but against the
house
wherewith I have
war
: for
God
commanded
me to make
haste
:
forbear
thee from meddling with
God
, who is with me, that he
destroy
thee not.
strkjv@2Chronicles:35:22
@ Nevertheless
Josiah
would not
turn
his
face
from him, but
disguised
himself, that he might
fight
with him, and
hearkened
not unto the
words
of
Necho
from the
mouth
of
God
, and
came
to
fight
in the
valley
of
Megiddo
.

@ And the
archers
shot
at
king
Josiah
; and the
king
said
to his
servants
, Have me
away
; for I am
sore
wounded
.

@ His
servants
therefore
took
him out of that
chariot
, and
put
him in the
second
chariot
that he had; and they
brought
him to
Jerusalem
, and he
died
, and was
buried
in one of the
sepulchres
of his
fathers
. And all
Judah
and
Jerusalem
mourned
for
Josiah
.
