³⁰ The king said to his servants, ‘Take me away from the battle, for I am very weak.’ And immediately his servants took him out of the line of battle. ³¹ He got into his second chariot; and after he was brought back to Jerusalem he died, and was buried in the tomb of his ancestors.

³² In all Judea they mourned for Josiah. The prophet Jeremiah lamented for Josiah, and the principal men, with the women,^[a] have made lamentation for him to this day; it was ordained that this should always be done throughout the whole nation of Israel.
