Josiah Dies in War

^20 (A)After all this, when Josiah had set the ^[a]house in order, Neco king of Egypt went up to make war at ^(B)Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to meet him. ²¹ But ^[b]Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “^(C)What have I to do with you, O King of Judah? I am not coming against you today but against the house with which I am at war, and God has said for me to hurry. Stop for your own sake from interfering with God who is with me, so that He will not bring you to ruin.”
