2 Kings 23:27-29

Common English Bible

²⁷ The Lord said, “I will remove Judah from my presence just as I removed Israel. I will reject this city, Jerusalem, which I chose, and this temple where I promised my name would reside.”

²⁸ The rest of Josiah’s deeds and all that he accomplished, aren’t they written in the official records of Judah’s kings? ²⁹ In his days, the Egyptian king Pharaoh Neco marched against the Assyrian king at the Euphrates River. King Josiah marched out to intercept him. But when Neco encountered Josiah in Megiddo, he killed the king.
