2 Chronicles 35:23-25

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³ And the archers shot King Josi′ah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded.” ²⁴ So his servants took him out of the chariot and carried him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josi′ah. ²⁵ Jeremiah also uttered a lament for Josi′ah; and all the singing men and singing women have spoken of Josi′ah in their laments to this day. They made these an ordinance in Israel; behold, they are written in the Laments.
