2 Tawarikh 35:23-25

35:23 Archers shot King Josiah; the king ordered his servants, “Take me out of this chariot, ¹  for I am seriously wounded.” 35:24 So his servants took him out of the chariot, put him in another chariot that he owned, and brought him to Jerusalem, ²  where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors; ³  all the people of Judah and Jerusalem mourned Josiah. 35:25 Jeremiah composed laments for Josiah which all the male and female singers use to mourn Josiah to this very day. It has become customary in Israel to sing these; they are recorded in the Book of Laments.
