1 Kings 22:31-38

31Now 1the king of Aram had commanded the thirty-two commanders of his chariots, saying, “Do not fight with the small or great, but only with the king of Israel.” 32So when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely he is the king of Israel!” And they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out. 33Then, when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

34Now one man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel 2in a joint of the armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn 3around and take me out of the battle, 4for I am severely wounded.” 35The battle 5raged on that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot in front of the Arameans, and he died at evening, and the blood from the wound ran into the bottom of the chariot. 366Then the word passed throughout the army close to sunset, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his 7country!”

37So the king died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria. 38They washed out the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood (it was there that the prostitutes bathed themselves) 8in accordance with the word of the Lord which He had spoken.
