2 Chronicles 35:22 in Context — 2 Chronicles 35

20 Después de todas estas cosas, luego de haber Josías preparado la casa, Nechâo rey de Egipto subió á hacer guerra en Carchêmis junto á Eufrates; y salió Josías contra él.

21 Y él le envió embajadores, diciendo: ¿Qué tenemos yo y tú, rey de Judá? Yo no vengo contra ti hoy, sino contra la casa que me hace guerra: y Dios dijo que me apresurase. Déjate de [meterte] con Dios, que es conmigo, no te destruya.

22 Mas Josías no volvió su rostro de él, antes disfrazóse para darle batalla, y no atendió á las palabras de Nechâo, [que eran] de boca de Dios; y vino á darle la batalla en el campo de Megiddo.

23 Y los archeros tiraron al rey Josías [flechas]; y dijo el rey á sus siervos: Quitadme de aquí, porque estoy herido gravemente.

24 Entonces sus siervos lo quitaron de aquel carro, y pusiéronle en [otro] segundo carro que tenía, y lleváronle á Jerusalem, y murió; y sepultáronle en los sepulcros de sus padres. Y todo Judá y Jerusalem hizo duelo por Josías.
