2 Chronicles 18:28-34

28So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH5927 up againstH413 Ramoth-gileadH7433.

29The kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, “I will disguiseH2664 myself and goH935 into battleH4421, but you putH3847 on your robesH899.” So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 disguisedH2664 himself, and they wentH935 into battleH4421.

30Now the kingH4428 of AramH758 had commandedH6680 the captainsH8269 of his chariotsH7393, sayingH559, “Do not fightH3898 with smallH6996 or greatH1419, but with the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 aloneH905.”

31So when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 sawH7200 JehoshaphatH3092, they saidH559, “It is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478,” and they turnedH5437 asideH5437 to fightH3898 againstH5921 him. But JehoshaphatH3092 1criedH2199 out, and the LordH3068 helpedH5826 him, and GodH430 divertedH5496 them from him.

32When the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 sawH7200 that it was not the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, they turnedH7725 backH7725 from pursuingH310 him.

33A certain manH376 drewH4900 his bowH7198 at randomH8537 and struckH5221 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 2in a jointH1694 of the armorH8302. So he saidH559 to the driverH7395 of the chariotH7395, “TurnH2015 3aroundH3027 and takeH3318 me out of the 4fightH4264, for I amH2470 severelyH2470 woundedH2470.”

34The battleH4421 ragedH5927 that dayH3117, and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 proppedH5975 himself up in his chariotH4818 in frontH5227 of the ArameansH758 untilH5704 the eveningH6153; and at sunsetH8121H935 he diedH4191.
