The king of Aram had given orders to the chariot commanders. He said, "Don't fight anyone except the king of Israel."
31
When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "He must be the king of Israel." So they surrounded him in order to fight him. But when Jehoshaphat cried out, the LORD helped him. God drew them away from him,
32
and the chariot commanders realized that Jehoshaphat wasn't the king of Israel. Then they turned away from him.
33
One man aimed his bow at random and hit the king of Israel between his scale armor and his breastplate. Ahab told the chariot driver, "Turn around, and get me away from these troops. I'm badly wounded."
34
But the battle got worse that day, and the king propped himself up in his chariot facing the Arameans until evening. At sundown he died.
