2. Kongebok 23,30

JehoahazJosiahJerusalemMegiddo

28 Når det gjelder resten av Josjias gjerninger og alt han gjorde, er de ikke nedskrevet i Krønikenes Bok for Judas konger?

29 I hans dager dro farao Neko, kongen av Egypt, opp til kongen av Assyria ved Eufratelven. Og kong Josjia dro for å møte ham, men da farao Neko så ham, drepte han ham ved Megiddo.

Hans tjenere førte hans kropp i en vogn fra Megiddo, og brakte ham til Jerusalem, og begravde ham i hans egen grav. Så tok landets folk Josjias sønn Joakas, salvet ham, og gjorde ham til konge i stedet for hans far.

31 Joakas var tjue-tre år gammel da han ble konge, og han regjerte i tre måneder i Jerusalem. Hans mors navn var Hamutal, datter av Jeremia fra Libna.

32 Han gjorde det onde i Herrens øyne, i samsvar med alt hans fedre hadde gjort.
