*
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 .
*
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 Yo #
shiyah #;
and the king said to his servants ,
Have me away ;
for I am sore wounded .
