* I will gather.
Ge 25:8 De 31:16 1Ch 17:11 2Ch 34:28
* thou shalt.
During thy life, none of these calamities shall fall upon thee
nor thy people; no adversary shall be permitted to disturb the
peace of Judea; and thou shalt at last "be gathered into thy
grave in peace." Now, though it is stated that Pharaoh-Necho
slew him at Megiddo, yet the Assyrians and the Jews were at
peace; and though Josiah might feel it his duty to oppose the
Egyptian king's going against his friend and ally, and that,
in his endeavours to oppose him, he was mortally wounded at
Megiddo, yet certainly he was not killed there, but was
brought to Jerusalem, where he died in peace.
* gathered.
23:29,30 Ps 37:37 Isa 57:1,2 Jer 22:10,15,16
