Note	Necho II (sometimes Nekau) was a king of the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt. Necho II is most likely the pharaoh mentioned in several books of the Bible (see Hebrew Bible -Old Testament). The Book of Kings states that Necho II met King Josiah of the Kingdom of Judah at Megiddo and killed him (2 Kings 23:29) (see Battleof Megiddo (609 BC)). Another book called the Book of Chronicles 2 Chronicles 35:20-27 gives a lengthier account and 2 Chronicles 35:20 states that when Josiah had prepared the Temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish bythe Euphrates River and that King Josiah was fatally wounded by an Egyptian archer. He was then brought back to Jerusalem to die.
