So he said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle,^[a] for I am badly wounded!” ^{(B) 35} The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. He died that evening,^(C) and blood from his wound flowed into the bottom of the chariot.
