26 However, Yahweh did not turn from His great burning anger, His anger which burned against Judah, ^abecause of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him to anger. 27 And Yahweh said, “I will remove Judah also from My presence, ^aas I have removed Israel. And ^bI will reject Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the ¹house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”

Jehoahaz Reigns Over Judah

28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 29 ^aIn his days ^bPharaoh Neco king of Egypt went up to the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates. And King Josiah went to meet him, and when Pharaoh Neco saw him he put him to death at ^cMegiddo. 30 ^aAnd his servants drove ¹his body in a chariot from Megiddo and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. ^bThen the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
