2 Kings 23:25-30
25Before him there was no king 1like him who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; nor did any like him arise after him.
26However, the Lord did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His anger burned against Judah, 2because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him. 27The Lord said, “I will remove Judah also from My sight, 3as I have removed Israel. And 4I will cast off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the 5temple of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”
28Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 296In his days 7Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt went up to the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates. And King Josiah went to meet him, and when Pharaoh Neco saw him he killed him at 8Megiddo. 309His servants drove 10his body in a chariot from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. 11Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
