WHERE DID JOSIAH DIE?

II Kings 23:29-30 In his days Pharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him. And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead. (KJV) II Chronicles 35:23-24 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded. His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. (KJV)

I had a very hard time with this one until I asked a Jewish friend who speaks Hebrew to look at the Hebrew texts.  She says that the contradiction does not exist in those texts, that the 2 Kings passage does not say that he died in Megiddo or that he was dead when the journey to Jerusalem happened.  It doesn't specifically say when Josiah died, just that his death was caused by the Pharaoh while he was in Megiddo.  The person translating the 2 Kings passage evidently saw the passage saying that the Pharaoh had caused Josiah's death, and assumed Josiah was already dead.  Not a contradiction.
