Josiah Is Fatally Wounded by the Egyptians at Megiddo
On his way to battle the Babylonians, King Neco II of Egypt met with opposition from King Josiah. In the plains of Meggido, the two armies battled, and the Judean troops were defeated. The book of Chronicles tells the story:
2 Chronicles 35:20-24...King Neco of Egypt came up to fight [against the Babylonians] at Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah went out against him. [Neco] sent messengers to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I do not march against you this day but against the kingdom that wars with me...But Josiah would not let him alone; instead… he came to fight in the plain of Megiddo. Archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Get me away from here, for I am badly wounded.”His servants...conveyed him to Jerusalem. There he died and was buried in the grave of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem went into mourning over Josiah.
