1 Esdras 1:31
King James VersionSource notes
“Then gat he up upon his second chariot; and being brought back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in his father’s sepulchre.”
Context
28Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy spoken by the mouth of the Lord:
29But joined battle with him in the plain of Magiddo, and the princes came against king Josias.
30Then said the king unto his servants, Carry me away out of the battle; for I am very weak. And immediately his servants took him away out of the battle.
31Then gat he up upon his second chariot; and being brought back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in his father’s sepulchre.
32And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias, yea, Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him unto this day: and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel.
33These things are written in the book of the stories of the kings of Judah, 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 recited, are reported in the book of the kings of Israel and Judea.
34And the people took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of Josias his father, when he was twenty and three years old.
