33 And when the captains of the chariots saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from him.

34 Then a certain man drew a bow [a]mightily, and smote the king of Israel between the joints [b]of his brigandine. Wherefore he said unto his chariot man, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host: for I am [c]hurt.

35 And the battle increased that day, and the [d]king stood still in his chariot against the Aramites, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
