28
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written in
the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 29 In his
days Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt went up to the king of Assyria to the
river Euphrates. King Josiah went to meet him, and Pharaoh Neco killed him
at Megiddo, as soon as he saw him. 30 And his servants carried
him
dead in a chariot from Megiddo and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him
in his own tomb. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of
Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.
These
verses share the death of King Josiah’s death who died at the hand of Pharaoh
Neco in battle. Josiah was buried in
Jerusalem. His son, Jehoahaz became
king.
King
Josiah was responsible for turning the tide of against idol worship and other
evils. When we pass from this earth,
what legacy will we live? Pray today
that your life will exemplify the character of Christ. Seek wisdom through prayer, the Word and
simply asking Christ to help you shine light in a dark world.
