Josiah's Death in Battle
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 29 (A)In his days (B)Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt went up to the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates. King Josiah went to meet him, and Pharaoh Neco killed him at (C)Megiddo, as soon as he saw him. 30 (D)And his servants carried him dead in a chariot from (E)Megiddo and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. (F)And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.

King Josiah marched out to intercept him. But when Neco encountered Josiah in Megiddo, he killed the king. 30 Josiah’s servants took his body from Megiddo in a chariot. They brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz, Josiah’s son, anointed him, and made him king after his father.
