1 Kings 22:29-33

29The king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah attacked Ramoth Gilead.

30The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and then enter into the battle; but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and then entered into the battle.

31Now the king of Syria had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight common soldiers or high-ranking officers; fight only the king of Israel.”

32When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “He must be the king of Israel.” So they turned and attacked him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.

33When the chariot commanders realized he was not the king of Israel, they turned away from him.
