II Chronicles 18
The War Against Ramoth Gilead and the Death of Ahab
28 So 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 to battle; but you put on your own clothes." So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went to battle.
30 But the king of Syria commanded the captains of his chariots, "Fight neither with small nor great, but only with the king of Israel."
31 And it came to pass, when the captains of Jehoshaphat's chariots saw them, that they said, "This is the king of Israel," and they surrounded him to fight. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him. And God turned them away from him.
32 When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from following him.
33 Then a man bent his bow in his simplicity and struck the king of Israel between the joints and the armor. Then he said to the charioteer, "Let your hand live, and take me out of the army, for I am badly wounded."
34 And the battle raged there, but the king of Israel remained standing in the chariot facing the Syrians until evening, and he died at the time of sunset.
