2 Chronicles 35:25

23 And the archers shot King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am severely wounded.”

24 ^aHis servants therefore took him out of that chariot and put him in the second chariot that he had, and they brought him to Jerusalem. So he died, and was buried in one of the tombs of his fathers. And ^ball Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

25 Jeremiah also ^alamented for ^bJosiah. And to this day ^call the singing men and the singing women speak of Josiah in their lamentations. ^dThey made it a custom in Israel; and indeed they are written in the Laments.

26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and his goodness, according to what was written in the Law of the Lord,

27 and his deeds from first to last, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

2 Chronicles 35:25

Some find Jeremiah' s lament in the entire Book of Lamentations; others in a part of it Lam. 4. But most critics are of opinion that the lament is lost. Days of calamity were commemorated by lamentations on their anniversaries, and this among the number. The "Book of Dirges" was a collection of such poems which once existed but is now lost.

And made them an ordinance - Rather, "and they made them an ordinance," they i. e. who had authority to do so, not the minstrels.
