2 Chronicles 35:21-23

English Standard Version

²¹ But he sent envoys to him, saying, “What have we to do with each other, king of Judah? I am not coming against you this day, but against the house with which I am at war. And God has commanded me to hurry. Cease opposing God, who is with me, lest he destroy you.” ²² Nevertheless, Josiah did not turn away from him, but ^(A)disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, but came to fight in the plain of ^(B)Megiddo. ²³ And the archers shot King Josiah. And the king said to his servants, ^(C)“Take me away, for I am badly wounded.”
