After that, people took the son of Josiah who was called Jehoahaz and anointed him to become king who replaced his father.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Josiah’s servants put his corpse in a chariot and brought him from Megiddo to Jerusalem. He was buried in his own tomb. Then the people of the land anointed Josiah’s son, Jehoahaz, and made him king in his father’s place.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “His servants loaded his dead-body/corpse in a chariot and brought (him) back to Jerusalem and buried (him) in his own burial-place. His child/(son) Jehoahaz was the one who the people of Juda replaced as king by rubbing him with oil.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “His officials placed his corpse in a chariot and took it back to Jerusalem, where it was buried in his own tomb, a tomb where the other previous kings had not been buried.
    Then the people of Judah poured olive oil on the head of Josiah’s son Joahaz, to appoint him to be the new king.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
