2 Chronicles 35:20-27

20AfterH310 all this, when JosiahH2977 had preparedH3559 the templeH1004, NechoH5224 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 to fightH3898 against CarchemishH3751 by EuphratesH6578: and JosiahH2977 went outH3318 againstH7125 him.1 21But he sentH7971 ambassadorsH4397 to him, sayingH559, What have I to do with thee, thou kingH4428 of JudahH3063? I come not against thee this dayH3117, but against the houseH1004 wherewith I have warH4421: for GodH430 commandedH559 me to make hasteH926: forbearH2308 thee from meddling with GodH430, who is with me, that he destroyH7843 thee not.2 22Nevertheless JosiahH2977 would not turnH5437 his faceH6440 from him, but disguisedH2664 himself, that he might fightH3898 with him, and hearkenedH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of NechoH5224 from the mouthH6310 of GodH430, and cameH935 to fightH3898 in the valleyH1237 of MegiddoH4023. 23And the archersH3384 shotH3384 at kingH4428 JosiahH2977; and the kingH4428 saidH559 to his servantsH5650, Have me awayH5674; for I am soreH3966 woundedH2470.3 24His servantsH5650 therefore tookH5674 him out of that chariotH4818, and putH7392 him in the secondH4932 chariotH7393 that he had; and they broughtH3212 him to JerusalemH3389, and he diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in one of the sepulchresH6913 of his fathersH1. And all JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 mournedH56 for JosiahH2977.4

25And JeremiahH3414 lamentedH6969 for JosiahH2977: and all the singing menH7891 and the singing womenH7891 spakeH559 of JosiahH2977 in their lamentationsH7015 to this dayH3117, and madeH5414 them an ordinanceH2706 in IsraelH3478: and, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the lamentationsH7015. 26Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JosiahH2977, and his goodnessH2617, according to that which was writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of YhwhH3068,5 27And his deedsH1697, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
