1 Reis 22:32 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:32

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw
Jehoshaphat
In his royal robes:

that they said, surely it is the king of Israel;
for they might not know the persons either of Ahab or him, but judged by his habit:

and they turned aside to fight against him;
pressed upon him with all their force, either to take him or slay him:

and Jehoshaphat cried out;
with a loud voice, either to the captains to let them know who he was, or to his men to come to his assistance, or rather to God to help and deliver him; since it is said in ( 2 Chronicles 18:31 ) that the Lord helped him, and moved or inclined the hearts of the captains to depart from him, as it follows here.

1 Reis 22:32 In-Context

30 E o rei de Israel disse a Josafá: “Entrarei disfarçado em combate, mas tu, usa as tuas vestes reais”. O rei de Israel disfarçou-se, e ambos foram para o combate.
31 O rei da Síria havia ordenado aos seus trinta e dois chefes de carros de guerra: “Não lutem contra ninguém, seja soldado seja oficial, senão contra o rei de Israel”.
32 Quando os chefes dos carros viram Josafá, pensaram: “É o rei de Israel”, e o cercaram para atacá-lo, mas Josafá gritou,
33 e, quando os comandantes dos carros viram que não era o rei de Israel, deixaram de persegui-lo.
34 De repente, um soldado disparou seu arco ao acaso e atingiu o rei de Israel entre os encaixes da sua armadura. Então o rei disse ao condutor do seu carro: “Tire-me do combate. Fui ferido!”
