The Sire in Other Attire

The death of King Josiah

After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him. But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not. Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded. His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.-2 Chronicles 35:20-24***King Josiah was the 15th king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Josiah turned to the Lord God and worshiped the Lord God with all his heart, soul and might. Josiah's great-grandfather King Hezekiah was the 12th king to rule Judah. Hezekiah worshiped the Lord God, and among Judah's kings, Hezekiah had unparalleled trust in the Lord God. Hezekiah's grandfather King Jotham, the 10th king to rule Judah, worshiped the Lord God. Jotham's father King Uzziah (Azariah), the 9th king to rule Judah, worshiped the Lord God. Uzziah's great-great-great-grandfather King Jehoshaphat, the 4th king to rule Judah, worshiped the Lord God. Jehoshaphat's father King Asa, the 3rd king to rule Judah, worshiped the Lord God. Asa's great-great-grandfather  King David was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. David worshiped the Lord God and was a man after God's own heart. Solomon, the 2nd son born to David and Bathsheba,  was the 3rd king to reign. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehobom gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam was the 1st king to reign. Less than 200 years after Jeroboam's son Nadab became the 2nd king to rule the northern nation of Israel, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Rehoboam and all the kings not previously mentioned who ruled Judah were idolaters. Josiah's grandfather King Manasseh was the 13th king to rule Judah. Manasseh was responsible for wickedness that the Lord God was not willing to forgive. During Josiah's reign, Josiah reopened and repaired the temple of the Lord, and the Book of the Law of the Lord was discovered. Josiah brought the Israelites throughout Judah back to the Lord God and cleared Judah of everything associated with idolatry. Moreover, Josiah commanded the Israelites to commemorate the Passover and an enormous celebration was held. Josiah's life ended after he went towards Pharaoh Necho (Neco), the Egyptian ruler who claimed to be on a mission for the Lord God. Josiah's son Jehoiakim (Eliakim) was the 17th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiakim's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. During the reign of Jehoiakim's son King Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the 18th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians began taking Israelites to Babylon. During the reign of Josiah's son King Zedekiah (Mattaniah), the 19th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the birth tribe of David and his descendants, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
