NETBible

During Josiah’s reign Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt marched toward¹ the Euphrates River to help the king of Assyria. King Josiah marched out to fight him, but Necho² killed him at Megiddo³ when he saw him.

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “went up to.” The idiom עַל…עָלָה (’alah …’al) can sometimes mean “go up against,” but here it refers to Necho’s attempt to aid the Assyrians in their struggle with the Babylonians.

²tn Heb “he”; the referent (Necho) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
