2 Chronicles 35:20-21

Josiah Killed in Battle

20 ^aAfter all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight at ^bCarchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to meet him. 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.”
