King Josiah of Judah died fighting against Egypt while trying to stop their attempt to lend assistance to Assyria.
This occurred when Nabopolassar was still in power as king of Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar served as the military leader. Following this conflict, Nebuchadnezzar was crowned king.
<h3>How did King Josiah of Judah die?</h3>
Unlike the second book of Chronicles, which provides a more detailed account and claims that Josiah was gravely wounded by Egyptian archers and was transported back to Jerusalem to die, the second book of Kings only reports that Necho II encountered Josiah in Megiddo and killed him (2 Chronicles 35:20-27).
Josiah, the king of Judah, forbade the Egyptians from passing. At the battle of Megiddo, the Judaean armies defeated the Egyptians, killing Josiah and turning his kingdom into an Egyptian client state. The Hebrew Bible, the Greek First Esdras, and Josephus describe the conflict.
