Journey Through the Bible

2 Chronicles 35:23-25

23 Archers 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 the other chariot he had and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.

25 Jeremiah composed laments for Josiah, and to this day all the men and women singers commemorate Josiah in the laments. These became a tradition in Israel and are written in the Laments.
