2 To Egypt against the army of Pharaoh-Necho, king of Egypt, that was upon the river Phrath in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel smote in the fourth year to Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah. 3 Prepare the covering and the shield, and approach to the war. 4 Harness the horses, and come up, ye horsemen, and stand in the helmets; polish the spears, and put on the coats of mail. 5 Wherefore did I see them terrified, drawing back behind? and their strong ones shall be broken, and they fled a flight, and they turned not: fear being round about, says Jehovah. 6 The swift shall not flee away, and the strong shall not escape: to the north upon the hand of the river Phrath they stumbled and fell.
