Pharaoh Necoh kills Josiah at Megiddo, and the people of the land anoint Jehoahaz and make him king
애굽 왕 바로느고가 므깃도에서 요시야를 죽이고 국민이 여호아하스에게 기름을 부어 왕을 삼음
2 Kings 23:28–30: the text says, “Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?” In Josiah’s days (WEB “In his days”) Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt goes up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah goes against him, but Pharaoh Necoh kills him at Megiddo when he sees him. The text says, “His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.” The Korean Revised Version names Josiah where WEB reads “In his days” and “killed him” (요시야 당시에 … 요시야를), and names Pharaoh Necoh once (애굽 왕 바로느고가 … 애굽 왕이), where WEB names him twice (23:29).
