Josiah’s Death

²⁸ As for the rest of Josiah’s acts and everything he did, are they not written in the annals of the kings of Judah?

²⁹ In his days, Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, went to join the king of Assyria for war at the Euphrates River.^[a] King Josiah went to meet Neco in battle, but Neco killed King Josiah at Megiddo when he faced him. ³⁰ His servants transported his body from Megiddo to Jerusalem in a chariot, and they buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and anointed him. They made him king in his father’s place.
