2 Chronicles 35:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 And the shooters shot at king Josiah: then the king said to his servants, Carry me away, for I am very sick.
24 So his servants took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot which he had, and when they had brought him to Jerusalem, he died, and was buried in the sepulchers of his fathers: and all Judah and Jerusalem [a]mourned for Josiah.
25 And Jeremiah lamented Josiah, and all singing men and singing women mourned for Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made the same for an ordinance unto Israel: and behold, they be written in the [b]Lamentations.
