King Josiah insisted on fighting King Neco of Egypt because he believed he was acting in defense of Judah and its sovereignty. Neco was on his way to assist the Assyrians against the Babylonians, and Josiah saw his march through Judah as a threat. Despite warnings from Neco that he meant no harm, Josiah chose to engage in battle, which ultimately led to his death at Megiddo. His actions were influenced by a commitment to uphold the worship of Yahweh and resist foreign domination.
