His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in [one of] the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
2 Chronicles 35:24 — KJV
The second chariot. Such a chariot was possibly heavier and more comfortable than a war chariot.
And he died. The account here apparently contradicts the account of Josiah’s death in 2 Kings 23:29, 30, which seems to imply that the king died at Megiddo. The incident may be understood in two ways: (1) Josiah died at Megiddo, and the statement “and he died” (2 Chron. 35:24) may be taken as opening a new sentence summarizing the incident described in the previous verses. (2) Josiah died at Jerusalem, as 2 Chron. 35:24 seems to imply, and the statements “slew him at Megiddo” and “dead from Megiddo” (2 Kings 23:29, 30) may be taken in their literal meaning, “caused him to die at Megiddo” and “dying from Megiddo.” The participle meth, translated “dead” in 2 Kings 23:30, may also refer to one who must die, as in Deut. 4:22 and possibly also in Gen. 20:3.
One of the sepulchres. “In his own sepulchre” (2 Kings 23:30), which was evidently in one of the family tombs of his ancestors.
