Lamentations for Josiah So his servants took him out of his chariot The phrase "his servants" refers to the loyal attendants of King Josiah, who were likely part of his royal entourage. In Hebrew, the word for "servants" is "עֲבָדָיו" (avadav), which often denotes those who are in service to a king or master. This highlights the loyalty and dedication of Josiah's servants, who acted swiftly to care for their wounded king. The "chariot" (Hebrew: "מֶרְכָּבָה" - merkavah) was a symbol of royal power and military might in ancient Israel, indicating that Josiah was engaged in battle when he was injured. This context underscores the gravity of the situation and the urgency with which his servants acted. put him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem where he died He was buried in the tombs of his fathers and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah Put him.--Made him ride. 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.
