De Méguiddo ses serviteurs le chargèrent mort sur un char, et l'emmenèrent à Jérusalem, et l'ensevelirent dans son tombeau. Et le peuple du pays prit Joachaz, fils de Josias; et ils l'oignirent, et l'établirent roi à la place de son père.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo,.... They took him out of the chariot in which he was wounded, and put him into another, where he died of his wounds by the way; being mortally wounded, he is said to be dead, or a dead man, see 2 Chronicles 35:24
and brought him to Jerusalem; which, according to Bunting b, was forty four miles from Megiddo:
and buried him in his own sepulchre; which either he had provided for himself in his lifetime, or which in common belonged to the kings of Judah, see 2 Chronicles 35:24
and the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead; though he was not the eldest son, Jehoiakim, who was afterwards placed in his room, being two years older, as appears from 2 Kings 23:31 and this is the reason, as the Jewish commentators in general agree, that he was anointed; which they say was never done to the son of a king, unless there was a competitor, or some objection to, or dispute about, the succession, as in the case of Solomon and others.
b Travels, &c. p. 188.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Dead - It appears from a comparison of this passage with 2 Chronicles (marginal reference) that Josiah was not actually killed in the battle.
Jehoahaz - Or Shallum (the marginal note). He may have taken the name of Jehoahaz (âthe Lord possessesâ) on his accession. He was not the eldest son of Josiah (see 2 Kings 23:36 note). The mention of âanointingâ here favors the view that there was some irregularity in the succession (see 1 Kings 1:34 note).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 30. Dead from Megiddo — The word ×ת meth should here be considered as a participle, dying, for it is certain he was not dead: he was mortally wounded at Megiddo, was carried in a dying state to Jerusalem, and there he died and was buried. See 2 Chronicles 35:24.
Herodotus, lib. i., c. 17, 18, 25, and lib. ii. 159, appears to refer to the same war which is here mentioned. He says that Nechoh, in the sixth year of his reign, went to attack the king of Assyria at Magdolum, gained a complete victory, and took Cadytis. Usher and others believe that Magdolum and Megiddo were the same place. The exact place of the battle seems to have been Hadadrimmon, in the valley of Megiddo, for there Zechariah tells us 2 Kings 12:11, was the great mourning for Josiah. Compare this with 2 Chronicles 35:24-25.
