1 Reyes 22:31 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:31

But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains
that had the rule over his chariots
This was the number of his kings in the first battle with Israel, and of his captains in the second, ( 1 Kings 20:1 1 Kings 20:24 1 Kings 20:25 ) , and the same number he had now, being very probably not only the number of his chariots, but the division of his army was into so many battalions, under the command of these captains of chariots:

saying, fight neither with small nor great;
of those that belonged to Jehoshaphat:

save only with the king of Israel;
and his men; for it can hardly be thought that his orders were to fight with none, nor kill any in the battle but Ahab personally; though it is very probable he might give them directions to aim at him chiefly, knowing that, if he was killed or taken, his army would flee or surrender; and he might be desirous of getting him into his hands, as he had been in his; and the rather his spite was against him, as he was the mover of the war.

1 Reyes 22:31 In-Context

29 Muerte de Acab
Entonces Acab, rey de Israel, y Josafat, rey de Judá, dirigieron a sus ejércitos contra Ramot de Galaad.

30 El rey de Israel dijo a Josafat: «Cuando entremos en la batalla, yo me disfrazaré para que nadie me reconozca, pero tú ponte tus vestiduras reales». Así que el rey de Israel se disfrazó, y ambos entraron en la batalla.

31 Mientras tanto, el rey de Aram había dado las siguientes órdenes a sus treinta y dos comandantes de carros de guerra: «Ataquen solo al rey de Israel. ¡No pierdan tiempo con nadie más!».

32 Entonces, cuando los comandantes arameos de los carros vieron a Josafat en sus vestiduras reales, comenzaron a perseguirlo. «¡Allí está el rey de Israel!», gritaban; pero cuando Josafat gritó,

33 los comandantes de los carros se dieron cuenta de que no era el rey de Israel y dejaron de perseguirlo.
