All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_chronicles/35-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and look, they are written in the lamentations. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_chronicles/35-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of the LORD, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_chronicles/35-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>and his acts, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
