*
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat ,
I will disguise myself ,
and enter into the battle ;
but put thou on thy robes .
And the king of Israel disguised himself ,
and went into the battle .
*
But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots ,
saying ,
Fight neither with small nor great ,
save only with the king of Israel .
*
And it came to pass ,
when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat ,
that they said ,
Surely it is the king of Israel .
And they turned aside to fight against him :
and Jehoshaphat cried out .
*
And it came to pass ,
when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel ,
that they turned back from pursuing him .
*
And a certain man drew a bow at a venture ,
and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness :
wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot ,
Turn thine hand ,
and carry me out of the host ;
for I am wounded .
*
And the battle increased that day :
and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians ,
and died at even :
and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot .
*
And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun ,
saying ,
Every man to his city ,
and every man to his own country .
