And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they [are] written in the lamentations.
2 Chronicles 35:25 — KJV
Jeremiah lamented. Jeremiah began his ministry in the 13th year of Josiah (Jer. 1:2) and thus had carried on his prophetic work for 18 years before Josiah’s death (2 Chron. 34:1). There is no evidence that this lament of Jeremiah for Josiah was written out—if it was, it has been lost.
In their lamentations. Minstrels in their dirges sang of the untimely death of Judah’s last good king. Jeremiah requested that men weep not for Josiah but for his successor Shallum (Jer. 22:10-12), that is, Jehoahaz (see on 1 Chron. 3:15), who, after a reign of only three months, was taken to Egypt (2 Kings 23:30-34).
Written in the lamentations. This was a book of dirges which was probably still extant in the chronicler’s day.
