22 And Josiah hath not turned round his face from him, but to fight against him hath disguised himself, and hath not hearkened unto the words of Necho, from the mouth of God, and cometh in to fight in the valley of Megiddo;
23 and the archers shoot at king Josiah, and the king saith to his servants, `Remove me, for I have become very sick.'
24 And his servants remove him from the chariot, and cause him to ride on the second chariot that he hath, and cause him to go to Jerusalem, and he dieth, and is buried in the graves of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem are mourning for Josiah,
25 and Jeremiah lamenteth for Josiah, and all the singers and the songstresses speak in their lamentations of Josiah unto this day, and set them for a statute on Israel, and lo, they are written beside the lamentations.
26 And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and his kind acts, according as it is written in the law of Jehovah,
27 even his matters, the first and the last, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
