2 Chronicles 18:28-34

28So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH5927 upH5927 againstH413 Ramoth-gileadH7433.

29And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, “I will disguiseH2664 myself and goH935 into battleH4421, but you putH3847 onH3847 your robesH899.” So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 disguisedH2664 himself, and they wentH935 into battleH4421.

30Now the kingH4428 of AramH758 had commandedH6680 the commandersH8269 of his chariotsH7393, sayingH559, “Do not fightH3898 with the smallH6996 or greatH1419, but onlyH905 with the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.”

31So when the commandersH8269 of the chariotsH7393 sawH7200 JehoshaphatH3092, they saidH559, “He is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478!” And they turnedH5437 asideH5437 to fightH3898 againstH5921 him. But JehoshaphatH3092 1criedH2199 outH2199, and the LordH3068 helpedH5826 him, and GodH430 divertedH5496 them from him.

32When the commandersH8269 of the chariotsH7393 sawH7200 that it was not the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, they turnedH7725 backH7725 from pursuingH310 him.

33Now one manH376 drewH4900 his bowH7198 at randomH8537 and struckH5221 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 2in a jointH1694 of the armorH8302. So he saidH559 to the driverH7395 ofH7395 his chariotH7395, “TurnH2015 3aroundH3027 and takeH3318 me outH3318 of the battleH4264, for I amH2470 severelyH2470 woundedH2470.”

34The battleH4421 ragedH5927 on that dayH3117, and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 proppedH5975 himself upH5975 in his chariotH4818 in frontH5227 of the ArameansH758 untilH5704 the eveningH6153; and at sunsetH8121H935 he diedH4191.
