2 Kings 23:27-29

Living Bible

²⁷ For the Lord had said, “I will destroy Judah just as I have destroyed Israel; and I will discard my chosen city of Jerusalem and the Temple that I said was mine.”

²⁸ The rest of the biography of Josiah is written in The Annals of the Kings of Judah. ²⁹ In those days King Neco of Egypt went out to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. Then King Josiah went out with his troops to fight King Neco; but King Neco withstood him at Megiddo and killed him.
