Chronicles is simply silly. It's purpose seems to be to gloss over some of the less glorious chapters in the earlier books.
The most glaring example of this is when it creates a battle for Josiah to be killed in rather than being ignominiously whacked by Necho. With uncharacteristic modesty the Egyptians did not seem to know they won a battle that day!
