*
After all this ,
when Josiah had prepared the temple ,
Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates :
and Josiah went out against him .
*
But he sent ambassadors to him ,
saying ,
What have I to do with you ,
king of Judah ? [
I come ]
not against you this day ,
but against the house with which I have war ;
and God has commanded me to hurry :
forbear yourself from [
meddling with ]
God ,
who is with me ,
that he does not destroy you .
*
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him ,
but disguised himself ,
that he might fight with him ,
and didn '
t listen to the words of Neco 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 slaves ,
Take me away ;
for I am critically wounded .
*
So his slaves took him out of the chariot ,
and put him in the second chariot that he had ,
and brought him to Jerusalem ;
and he died ,
and was buried in the tombs of his fathers .
And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah .
*
And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah :
and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day ;
and they made them an ordinance in Israel :
and ,
look ,
they are written in the lamentations .
*
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah ,
and his good deeds ,
according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh ,
*
and his acts ,
first and last ,
look ,
they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah .
