2 Chronicles 35:20
Compare all
18 aThere had been no Passover kept in Israel like that since the days of Samuel the prophet; and none of the kings of Israel had kept such a Passover as Josiah kept, with the priests and the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.  
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept.

Josiah Dies in Battle

20 aAfter all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against bCarchemish by the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.  
21 But he sent messengers to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against the house with which I have war; for God commanded me to make haste. Refrain from meddling with God, who is with me, lest He destroy you.”
22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but adisguised himself so that he might fight with him, and did not heed the words of Necho from the mouth of God. So he came to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.  
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.
