2 Chronicles 35:21-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 But Neco[a] sent envoys to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I am not coming against you today but against the house with which I am at war, and God has commanded me to hurry. Cease opposing God, who is with me, so that he will not destroy you.” 22 But Josiah would not turn away from him but disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God but joined battle in the plain of Megiddo.(A) 23 The archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded.”
