23 Then the archers shot King Josiah, who said to his servants, “Take me away, I am seriously wounded.”
24 His servants took him from his own chariot, placed him in the one he had in reserve, and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned him.
25 Jeremiah also composed a lamentation for Josiah, which is recited to this day by all the male and female singers in their lamentations for Josiah. These have been made an ordinance for Israel, and can be found written in the Lamentations.
26 The rest of the acts of Josiah, his good deeds in accord with what is written in the law of the Lord,
27 and his words, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
