2 Chronicles 35:23-25

New Century Version

²³ In the battle King Josiah was shot by archers. He told his servants, “Take me away because I am badly wounded.” ²⁴ So they took him out of his chariot and put him in another chariot and carried him to Jerusalem. There he died and was buried in the graves where his ancestors were buried. All the people of Judah and Jerusalem were very sad because he was dead.

²⁵ Jeremiah wrote some sad songs about Josiah. Even to this day all the men and women singers remember and honor Josiah with these songs. It became a custom in Israel to sing these songs that are written in the collection of sad songs.
