==Records of the battle==
The [[Nebuchadnezzar Chronicle]], now housed in the [[British Museum]], claims that Chaldean King Nebuchadnezzar "crossed the river to go against the Egyptian army which lay in Karchemiš. They fought with each other and the Egyptian army withdrew before him. He accomplished their defeat, decisively. As for the rest of the Egyptian army which had escaped from the defeat so quickly that no weapon had reached them, in the district of [[Hamath]], the Chaldean Babylonian troops [[Battle of Hamath|overtook and defeated them]] so that not a single man escaped to his own country. At that time, Chaldean King Nebuchadnezzar conquered the whole area of Hamath."<ref>[http://www.livius.org/cg-cm/chronicles/abc5/jerusalem.html Chronicle Concerning the Early Years of Nebuchadnezzar II.

The battle is also mentioned and described in the [[Bible]], in the [[Book of Jeremiah]].<ref>The Bible, Jeremiah 46:3–12</ref> The battle mentioned in 2 Chronicles 35:20-27 is not the same; the event referred to there is the [[Battle of Megiddo (609 BC)]], which occurred four years earlier, also near Carchemish (2 Chronicles 35:20).
