Josiah

“But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.”

“Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath.”

“Amon his son, and Josiah his son.”

“But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.”

“Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah,”

“and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.”

“At the end of Josiah’s reign, Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt marched up to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went out to confront him, but Neco faced him and killed him at Megiddo.”

“From Megiddo his servants carried his body in a chariot, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.”
