2 Kings 23:28-30
New King James Version
Josiah Dies in Battle(A)
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 (B)In his days Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt went [a]to the aid of the king of Assyria, to the River Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him. And Pharaoh Necho killed him at (C)Megiddo when he (D)confronted him. 30 (E)Then his servants moved his body in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. And (F)the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.
