1 Kings 22:32-34
New English Translation
32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “He must be the king of Israel.” So they turned and attacked him, but Jehoshaphat cried out. 33 When the chariot commanders realized he was not the king of Israel, they turned away from him. 34 Now an archer shot an arrow at random,[a] and it struck the king of Israel between the plates of his armor. The king[b] ordered his charioteer, “Turn around and take me from the battle line,[c] because I’m wounded.”
