27
And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace,
then the LORD has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye peoples.
28
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramothgilead.
29
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself to enter into the battle, but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself and entered into the battle.
30
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that
were with him, saying, Fight not with small nor great, but only with the king of Israel.
31
And when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It
is the king of Israel. Therefore, they compassed about him to fight; but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God separated them from him.
32
And when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they withdrew from pursuing him.
33
But a
certain man drew a bow in all his perfection and smote the king of Israel between the joints of
his coat of mail; therefore, he said to his chariot man, Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the camp, for I am wounded.
34
And the battle increased that day; howbeit, the king of Israel stayed
himself up in
his chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and about the time of the sun going down he died.
