2 Chronicles 18:30 In-Context

28 Then the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.

29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you, wear your garments." So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went to war.

30 Now the king of Aram had commanded the commanders of his chariots, saying, "Do not fight with the small [or] the great, but only with the king of Israel."

31 And it happened [that] when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, then they said, "It [is] the king of Israel!" And they turned against him to fight. Then Jehoshaphat cried out and Yahweh helped him. God drove them away from him.

32 And it happened [that] when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from following him.
