2 Chronicles 35:22-24
New American Standard Bible 1995
22 However, Josiah would not turn [a]away from him, but (A)disguised himself in order to make war with him; nor did he listen to the words of Neco (B)from the mouth of God, but came to make war on the plain of (C)Megiddo. 23 The archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded.” 24 So his servants took him out of the chariot and carried him in the second chariot which he had, and brought him to Jerusalem [b]where he died and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. (D)All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

New International Version
22 Josiah, however, would not turn away from him, but disguised(A) himself to engage him in battle. He would not listen to what Necho had said at God’s command but went to fight him on the plain of Megiddo.
23 Archers(B) shot King Josiah, and he told his officers, “Take me away; I am badly wounded.” 24 So they took him out of his chariot, put him in his other chariot and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.
