1 Kings 22:31-37

1 Kings 22:31-37 CSB

Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders,  “Do not fight with anyone at all  except the king of Israel.”  When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they shouted, “He must be the king of Israel! ” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out. When the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him. But a man drew his bow  without taking special aim and struck the king of Israel through the joints of his armor. So he said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle,  for I am badly wounded! ”  The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. He died that evening,  and blood from his wound flowed into the bottom of the chariot. Then the cry rang out in the army as the sun set, declaring: Each man to his own city, and each man to his own land!  So the king died and was brought to Samaria. They buried the king in Samaria.
