20 After all this when Jo·siʹah had prepared the house, Neʹcho*+ the king of Egypt+ came up to fight at Carʹche·mish+ by the Eu·phraʹtes. Then Jo·siʹah+ went out to an encounter with him.+

17 As one grabbing hold of the ears of a dog is anyone passing by that is becoming furious at the quarrel that is not his.+

31 Or what king, marching to meet another king in war, does not first sit down and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand troops to cope with the one that comes against him with twenty thousand?+
