for my war is upon Euphrates: and now the Lord is with me, yes, the Lord is with me hasting me forward: depart from me, and be not against the Lord. <span class="verse" id="V28">28 </span>Howbeit Josias didn’t turn back <a href="#FN7" class="notemark">**<span class="popup"> Another reading is, his chariot from him.</span></a> to his chariot, but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy <span class='add'>spoken</span> by the mouth of the Lord: <span class="verse" id="V29">29 </span>but joined battle with him in the plain of Megiddo, and the princes came down against King Josias. <span class="verse" id="V30">30 </span>Then said the king to his servants, Carry me away out of the battle; for I am very weak. And immediately his servants carried him away out of the army. <span class="verse" id="V31">31 </span>Then got he up upon his second chariot; and being brought back to Jerusalem he died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his fathers. <span class="verse" id="V32">32 </span>And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias; and Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him, to this day: and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel. <span class="verse" id="V33">33 </span>These things are written in the book of the histories of the kings of Judea, and every one of the acts that Josias did, and his glory, and his understanding in the law of the Lord, and the things that he had done before, and the things now <span class='add'>recited</span>, are reported in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V34">34 </span> <a href="#FN8" class="notemark">✡<span class="popup"> 2 Kings23:30;
