23And the works of Josiah were upright before his Lord with a heart full of godliness.
24As for the things that came to pass in his time, they were written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and did wickedly against the Lord above all people and kingdoms, and how they grieved him exceedingly, so that the words of the Lord rose up against Israel.
— 1 Esdras 1:25 —
26But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, O king of Judea?
27I 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 hastening me forward: depart from me, and be not against the Lord.
