2 Chronicles 18:28-34

28So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went upH5927 toH413 Ramoth-gileadH7418H1568. 29And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 toH413 JehoshaphatH3092, “I will disguise myselfH2664 and goH935 into battleH4421, but youH859 wearH3847 your royal robesH899.” So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 disguised himselfH2664 and wentH935 into battleH4421.

30Now the kingH4428 of AramH758 had orderedH6680 his chariotH7393 commandersH8269, “Do notH3808 fightH3898 with anyoneH854, smallH6996 orH854 greatH1419, exceptH3588H518H854 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478H905.”

31

When the chariotH7393 commandersH8269 sawH7200 JehoshaphatH3092, theyH1992 saidH559, “ThisH1931 is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478!” So they turnedH5437 to fightH3898 against himH5921, but JehoshaphatH3092 cried outH2199, and the LORDH3068 helped himH5826. GodH430 drew them awayH5496 from himH4480. 32And when the chariotH7393 commandersH8269 sawH7200 thatH3588 he wasH1961 notH3808H1961 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, they turned backH7725 from pursuing himH310.

33However, a certain manH376 drewH4900 his bowH7198 without taking special aimH8537, and he struckH5221 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 betweenH996 the jointsH1694H996 of his armorH8302. So the king saidH559 to his charioteerH7395, “Turn aroundH2015H30271 and take me outH3318 ofH4480 the battleH4264, forH3588 I am badly woundedH2470!”

34The battleH4421 ragedH5927 throughout thatH1931 dayH3117, and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478H1961 propped himself upH5975 in his chariotH4818 facingH5227 the ArameansH758 untilH5704 eveningH6153. And at sunsetH935H8121 he diedH4191H6256.
