Josiah, king, remembered the Egyptians defeated at Megiddo while looking out from the hill of Simeon towards Nazareth, Taanach, Dothan, Ebal, and Gerizim. [2]
Josiah's tragic end came when he intercepted Necho’s army, leading to Judah falling under tribute to Egypt and the return of the Baal political party to power in Jerusalem, marking the start of Egyptian bondage. [3]
