Jehoahaz Succeeds Josiah
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 at the river Euphrates. And King Josiah went to meet him, and when Pharaoh Neco saw him he killed him at (C)Megiddo. 30 (D)His servants carried [a]his body in a chariot from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. (E)Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
