2 Chronicles 35:23-27
35:23 Archers shot King Josiah; the king ordered his servants, “Take me out of this chariot,
1 for I am seriously wounded.”
35:24 So his servants took him out of the chariot, put him in another chariot that he owned, and brought him to Jerusalem,
2 where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors;
3 all the people of Judah and Jerusalem mourned Josiah.
35:25 Jeremiah composed laments for Josiah which all the male and female singers use to mourn Josiah to this very day. It has become customary in Israel to sing these; they are recorded in the Book of Laments.
35:26 The rest of the events of Josiah’s reign, including the faithful acts he did in obedience to what is written in the law of the Lord 4
35:27 and his accomplishments, from start to finish, are recorded 5 in the Scroll of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
