1 Esdras 1:29–31

29 He joined battle with him in the plain of Megiddo, and the commanders came down against King Josiah. 30 And the king said to his servants, “Take me away from the battle, for I am very weak.” And immediately his servants took him out of the line of battle. 31 And he got into his second chariot; and after he was brought back to Jerusalem he died, and was buried in the tomb of his fathers.
