1 Esdras 1:26-29

1. 26 But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, O king of Judea?

2. 27 I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee; for my war is upon Euphrates: and now the Lord is with me, yea, the Lord is with me hasting me forward: depart from me, and be not against the Lord.

3. 28 Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy spoken by the mouth of the Lord:

4. 29 But joined battle with him in the plain of Magiddo, and the princes came against king Josias.
