2 Chronicles 35:23-25
New Catholic Bible
23 The archers then shot King Josiah, and he commanded his servants: “Take me away, for I am severely wounded.”
24 Therefore, his servants removed him from his own chariot and transferred him with another chariot to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him. 25 Jeremiah also composed a lament[a] for Josiah, which is recited to this day by all the male and female singers in their dirges. These became a tradition in Israel and can be found recorded in the Book of Lamentations.
