2 Chronicles 35:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this phase celebrated.

²⁰ After that Josias had repaired the temple, Nechao king of Egypt came up to fight in Charcamis by the Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him.

²¹ But he sent messengers to him, saying: What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I come not against thee this day, but I fight against another house, to which God hath commanded me to go in haste: forbear to do against God, who is with me, lest he kill thee.
