26 Notwithstanding, the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manas´seh had provoked him withal.
27 And the Lord said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josi´ah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 In his days Pha´raoh–ne´choh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphra´tes: and king Josi´ah went against him; and he slew him at Megid´do, when he had seen him.
30 And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megid´do, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jeho´ahaz the son of Josi´ah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.
31 Jeho´ahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamu´tal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
