This elegy was pronounced over Yoshiyahu,¹Who was killed in a battle with Pharaoh Necho. as it is stated in Divrei Hayomim, “Behold it is written in the Book of Lamentations,”²II Divrei Hayomim 35:25. and with it he joined, in the midst of the elegy, the rest of the children of Tzion.

Paled. Dimmed, as in “כֵּהָה”³Vayikra 13:6. which is rendered [by the Targum as] עַמְיָא [=dimmed].

Golden. The appearance of a face that shines like gold.
