2 Chronicles 35:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ But he sent messengers to him, saying: What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I come not against thee this day, but I fight against another house, to which God hath commanded me to go in haste: forbear to do against God, who is with me, lest he kill thee.

²² Josias would not return, but prepared to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao from the mouth of God, I but went to fight in the field of Mageddo.

²³ And there he was wounded by the archers, and he said to his servants: Carry me out of the battle, for I am grievously wounded.
