Brought him to Jerusalem, and he died.--2Kings 23:30 says: "And his servants made him ride dead (or dying) from Megiddo.' Even if it be not permissible to render meth "dying," we cannot agree with the suggestion of Thenius that the account of Chronicles is simply an arbitrary alteration of the older narrative for the sake of literary effect. The divergence proves that the chronicler had special sources of information at his command. The second chariot was no doubt a more comfortable one, reserved in case of such an emergency. In one of the sepulchres.--Omit one of. Kings, "in his own sepulchre," which would be a chamber among those of his immediate ancestors, Manasseh and Amon. (See 2Kings 21:18.) Mourned.--Were mourning. Verse 24. - And he died. If the form of words used in the parallel, 2 Kings 23:30, be followed, Josiah was dead before they reached Jerusalem. And all... mourned for Josiah. We still find no note whatever of blame attributed to Josiah, and the general mourning (Zechariah 12:11) appears to have been most genuine.Parallel Commentaries ...
