1 Kings 22:33-35
New Catholic Bible
33 the captains of the chariots realized that it was not the king of Israel. They turned away from pursuing him.
34 But someone drew his bow, and by chance he hit the king of Israel in the joints of his armor. He said to his chariot driver, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.”[a] 35 As the battle grew more savage that day, they propped the king up in his chariot facing the Arameans. The blood from his wound dripped onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.

- 1 Kings 22:34 All of Ahab’s attempts to ensure his survival in battle are pointless. His disguise did not change the evil in his heart where God sees and judges a person. The random arrow that struck him was the ultimate punishment for his evil deeds.

New International Version
33 the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel and stopped pursuing him.
34 But someone drew his bow(A) at random and hit the king of Israel between the sections of his armor. The king told his chariot driver, “Wheel around and get me out of the fighting. I’ve been wounded.” 35 All day long the battle raged, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. The blood from his wound ran onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
