How do we know God's sovereignty in Josiah's death?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is affirmed by the belief that Josiah's death was according to divine appointment and part of God's plan.

The death of Josiah is presented as an act of God's providence rather than an unfortunate incident. The sermon emphasizes that it was not mere chance that led to Josiah's death but God's sovereign decree. Josiah's encounter with Pharaoh Necho, which ultimately resulted in his death, was framed as a divinely orchestrated event. The preacher cites Proverbs 21:1, stating that the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, illustrating that God controls the motives and actions of kings, including Josiah’s. This aligns with the understanding that man's days, including the time of death, are ordained by God, providing believers with peace in God's perfect timing and purposes.
