* After all this , when Josiah had prepared the house , Necho the king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates ; and Josiah went out to meet him . * And he sent messengers to him , saying , What do I have to do with you , O king of Judah ? I am not coming against you today , but toward the house with which I have war ; and God said for me to hasten ; stop yourself from opposing God , who is with me , and He shall not destroy you . * Josiah would not turn his face from him , but disguised himself to fight against him , and did not listen to 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 , Pass me out , for I am severely wounded . * And his servants passed him out from the chariot , and caused him to ride in a second chariot of his , and brought him to Jerusalem . And he died and was buried in the graves of his fathers . And all Judah and Jerusalem were mourning for Josiah . * And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah ; and all the singers and the songstresses speak in their lamentations of Josiah to this day , and set them as a statute in Israel ; and behold , they are written in the Lamentations . * And the rest of the acts of Josiah , and godly deeds , are according as it is written in the law of Jehovah . * And his acts , the first and the last , behold , they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah .
