But a soldier shot an arrow into the air—he was not aiming at any special person. But his arrow hit {Ahab,} the king of Israel. The arrow hit the king in a small place where his armor did not cover his body. So King Ahab said to his chariot driver, “An arrow has hit me! Drive the chariot out of this area. We must go away from the fighting.”
So the servants took Josiah out of his chariot and put him in another chariot he had brought with him to the battle. Then they took Josiah to Jerusalem. King Josiah died in Jerusalem. Josiah was buried in the cemetery where his ancestors were buried. All the people of Judah and Jerusalem were very sad because Josiah was dead.
