How did King Josiah die?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: He was mortally wounded fighting Pharaoh Necho at Megiddo
Despite Necho's claim that he was acting on God's orders and had no quarrel with Judah, Josiah disguised himself and went into battle. He was hit by archers and died shortly after being brought back to Jerusalem.
