23 The archers shot King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, ‘Take me away, for I am badly wounded.’ 24 So his servants took him out of the chariot and carried him in his second chariot[a] and brought him to Jerusalem. There he died, and was buried in the tombs of his ancestors.

They made these a custom in Israel; they are recorded in the Laments.
