Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Nevertheless, Josiah would not turn his face from him,.... Or withdraw his forces, and go back: but disguised himself that he might fight with him; without being personally known, and
aimed at, see Kg1 22:30 . and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God: not believing that what he said came from the Lord, though it might; and his infirmity was, that he did not inquire of the Lord about it: and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo; which was in the tribe of Manasseh, thought to be the Magdolum of Herodotus, where he says Necho fought the battle (z); See Gill on Kg2 23:29 . (z) Gale in Herodot. ut supra. (Euterpe, sive, l. 2. c. 159. & Galei not. in ib.)
