Tree of Life Version
1 Kings 22:29-40
29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah marched to Ramot-gilead.
30Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you, put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.
31Now the king of Aram had commanded his 32 chariot commanders saying, “Do no single combat with anyone, small or great—except the king of Israel.”
32So when the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “He must be the king of Israel!” and they turned aside to do combat with him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.
33When the captains of the chariots realized that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
34But a man drew his bow aimlessly and struck the king of Israel between the lower armor and the breastplate. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I’m wounded.”
35The battle raged that day, and the king remained propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. But he died at evening—and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
36As the sun was setting, a shout went throughout the army, saying, “Each man to his town, and each man to his land!”
37So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
38Then they washed the chariot at the pool of Samaria where the harlots washed and the dogs licked up his blood—just as was the word of Adonai that He had spoken.
39Now the rest of Ahab’s deeds and all he did, including the ivory palace he built and all the cities he fortified, are they not written in Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
40So Ahab slept with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah became king in his place.
