1 Esdras 1:25-27

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁵ After all these acts of Josiah, it happened that Pharaoh, king of Egypt, went to make war at Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah went out against him. ²⁶ And the king of Egypt sent word to him saying, ‘What have we to do with each other, O king of Judea? ²⁷ I was not sent against you by the Lord God, for my war is at the Euphrates. And now the Lord is with me! The Lord is with me, urging me on! Stand aside, and do not oppose the Lord.’
