2 Chronicles 35:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ And the archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am severely wounded.

²⁴ So his servants took him out of the chariot and put him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

²⁵ Jeremiah gave a lament for Josiah, and all the singing men and women have spoken of Josiah in their laments to this day. They made them an ordinance in Israel; behold, they are written in the Laments.^(A)
