2 Chronicles 35:20

← 2 Chronicles 35:19	2 Chronicles 35:20 (KJV)	2 Chronicles 35:21 →
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.	After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.	But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? [I come] not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from [meddling with] God, who [is] with me, that he destroy thee not.
