Josiah’s Death
28 The rest of the events of Josiah’s reign,(A) along with all his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Judah’s Kings. 29 During his reign, Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt(B) marched up to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went to confront him, and at Megiddo(C) when Neco saw him he killed him. 30 From Megiddo his servants carried his dead body in a chariot, brought him into Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb.(D) Then the common people[a] took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.(E)

King Josiah marched out to meet him in battle, but Necho faced him and killed him at Megiddo.(B) 30 Josiah’s servants brought his body in a chariot(C) from Megiddo to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
