Expositors conceive Necho had this discovery of the mind of God, from the Prophet Jeremiah, 1Per oraculum non scriptum, sed viva voce editum: even by word of mouth. If so, no doubt Jeremiah also dissuaded Josiah from going out against him: However, this is clear, Josiah did not consult the mind of God about that expedition, as he ought, and was too hasty and resolute therein; ver. 22. Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, &c. By this means this excellent man came to a tragical end, and that in the very flower of his days. He dies in that unhappy Expedition, from which he would not be diverted; is brought home to Jerusalem in the second Chariot; dies, and is buried in the Sepulchre of his Fathers, to the universal sorrow ⟨p. 122⟩of all good men in Israel, as you read in the Text; wherein we have these two parts to consider.
