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***At least 800 years after Levi was born in Padan Aram, Haran, to Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, Samuel the priest, prophet and judge was born in Canaan, the Promised Land, to Elkanah and Hannah. When Samuel was elderly, and his sons Joel (Vashni) and Abiah (Abijah) were not obeying the commands of the Lord God, and King Nahash and his Ammonite army were preparing to attack, the Israelite elders demanded that Samuel appoint a king to lead them, and Samuel anointed Saul to reign, according to the command of the Lord God. Saul was from the tribe  of Benjamin, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. David, from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah, was the 2nd king to rule over all of the Isrelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Jacob, and to Jacob's father Isaac, and to Isaac's father Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to their descendants. David only worshiped the Lord God and was a man after God's own heart. Solomon, a son born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king. Rehoboam, a son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to rule over all of the Isrelites. After Rehoboam 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, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. King Pekah was the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During Pekah's 20-year reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites captive. During the 11th year of the reign of King Hoshea, the 19th king to rule the northern nation, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Rehoboam's grandson Asa, the 3rd  king to rule Judah, only worshiped the Lord God and never worshiped idols. Asa's son Jehoshaphat, the 4th king to rule Judah, only worshiped the Lord God and never worshiped idols. Jehoshaphat's great-great-great-grandson Uzziah (Azariah), the 9th king to rule Judah, only worshiped the Lord God and never worshiped idols. Uzziah's son Jotham, the 10th king to rule Judah, only worshiped the Lord God and never worshiped idols. Jotham's grandson Hezekiah, the 12th king to rule Judah, only worshiped the Lord God and never worshiped idols. Among Judah's kings, Hezekiah's trust in the Lord God was unparalleled. Manasseh, the son born to Hezekiah and Hephzibah, was the 13th king to rule Judah. Manasseh worshiped idols, and during his 55-year reign, he rebuilt places for false worship, and put altars for false worship in the temple of the Lord and in the temple courtyards, and was responsible for bloodshed that the Lord God was not willing to forgive. Manasseh's grandson Josiah, the 15th king to rule Judah, only worshiped the Lord God and never worshiped idols. During Josiah's 31-year reign, he repaired the temple of the Lord. The Book of the Law of the Lord was discovered, and Josiah brought the Israelites throughout Judah back to the Lord God and cleared Judah of everything associated with idolatry, and 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 king of Egypt. Jehoahaz, a son born to Josiah and Hamutal, was the 16th king to rule Judah. Jehoahaz reigned 3 months before Necho took him to Egypt and set Jehoiakim (Eliakim), the son born to Josiah and Zebudah, as king over Judah. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiachin's 3-month reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. Josiah and Hamutal's son Zedekiah (Mattaniah) was the 19th king to rule Judah. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, 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 tribe of Judah's kings, 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
