* So the king of Israel went up , and Josaphat king of Juda with him to Remmath Galaad . * And the king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda , I will disguise myself , and enter into the battle , and do thou put on my raiment . So the king of Israel disguised himself , and went into the battle . * And the king of Syria had charged the thirty-two captains of his chariots , saying , Fight not against small (note :)Gr . and (:note ) or great , but against the king of Israel only . * And it came to pass , when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat king of Juda , that they said , this seems to be the king of Israel . And they compassed him about to fight against him ; and Josaphat cried out . * And it came to pass , when the captains of the chariots saw that this was not the king of Israel , that they returned from him . * And one drew a bow with a good aim , and smote the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate : and he said to his charioteer , Turn thine hands , and carry me away out of the battle , for I am wounded . * And the war was turned in that day , and the king was (note :)Lit . remaining (:note ) standing on the chariot , against Syria from morning till evening ; and he shed the blood out of his wound , into the Gr . bosom bottom of the chariot , and died at even , and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot . * And the herald of the army stood at sunset , saying , Let every man go to his own city and his own land , * for the king is dead . And they came to Samaria , and buried the king in Samaria . * And they washed the chariot at the fountain of Samaria ; and the swine and the dogs licked up the blood , and the harlots washed themselves in the blood , according to the word of the Lord which he spoke . * And the rest of the acts of Achaab , and all that he did , and the ivory house which he built , and all the cities which he (note :)Gr . made (:note ) built , behold , are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ? * And Achaab slept with his fathers , and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead .
