Where have you been, my friend?  This is one of Joe Crea's favorite
contradictions of all time. It has been mentioned on this list at least a
hundred times or more!!!!

>I know *I* didn't.  I didn't see a contradiction here, since I was fully

aware that kings ordering their armies to slay someone is in effect the
king killing someone.  If the verse had said, "and Neco slew Josiah by his
own sword, wielded by his very own hand", I would call that a
contradiction. But, of course, maybe someone out there *does* think this is
a contradiction.  :)

BACH
The contradiction has to do with where Josiah is said in the OT to have
actually died....not who killed him or how. Wake up and smell the errancy,
pal!
